Even though conservatism is a method that's supposed to maintain stability in a nation's government, I find it odd that reversing a nation's progress would achieve anything but chaos.
The Peterloo Massacre resulted in 11 dead radical protesters. The government's response was the Six Acts. This took away the right of assembly, fair trials, and other freedoms that had made England a haven of progress and tolerance.
My question is, why go backwards? It doesn't make any sense to me how these elite leaders and monarchs would choose to undo what their predecessors had accomplished. Other than desperation, laziness, or a lack of political innovation.
That's a good point. Maybe a desire to maintain governmental power was the driving force behind conservatism. Rather than thinking for the good of the entire nation, the elitists in power would probably have worked for their own interests and limited citizen freedoms to further their own authorities. The actions of Napoleon had uprooted countless monarchies, so influential governmental figures might have been afraid to lose their power as well. I think that in their eyes, allowing liberalism was just an invitation for another French Revolution. (Or maybe that was just a lame excuse they concocted.)
This has been bothering me for some time: what's the most obvious difference between Socialism and Communism? I know that Communism is just Socialism at its "purest" form, but is there something huge that serves as a distinction?
Complete socialism is communism which basically means the elimination of all social classes. Marx's vision was to have all means of production and distribution controlled by all of the people, hence the idea "dictatorship of the proletariat".
