  I wouldn’t view small government as conservative tbh, but I’m not from the US.

  Ultimately it’s a relative term, relative to the status quo. Wikipedia defines it as

  preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values

  Seems the word tankies is used for authoritarian socialists/communists. I personally would view authoritarianism as a rather conservative thing.

  So that is what conservatism is about?

  I am sorry to inform you that there isn’t a conservative party in any country on this planet.

  It’s because tankie means anything the person who uses the word doesn’t like about leftists.
