Comment on The defining conservative trait: selfishness

Nationalism and communism have had pretty heavy overlap over the years, even if it didn’t start that way. If you accept conservative communism as being a thing, sure, I guess you could argue that.

Dog, “Communism” as practiced has always been (or at least quickly devolved into) authoritarian conservatism. Idk how that is even a debate. We have not had a successful communist movement yet.

Depends whether you’re talking about Marxism or whatever the fuck the USSR etc. was doing, which was a very different thing.
