“Conservatism, though a necessary element in any stable society, is not a social program; in its paternalistic, nationalistic and power adoring tendencies it is often closer to socialism than true liberalism; and with its traditionalistic, anti-intellectual, and often mystical propensities it will never, except in short periods of disillusionment, appeal to the young and all those others who believe that some changes are desirable if this world is to become a better place.” IfsWorldBelieveYoungSocialThis WorldPeriodsElementsIntellectualProgramSocialismTendenciesAppealsLiberalismStableMysticalBetter PlaceDesirableConservatismDisillusionmentPropensityNationalisticSocial Programs Author:Friedrich August von Hayek

“As far as Bernie Sanders is concerned, he is a decent, honest person, and I supported him. What he means by socialism is New Deal Liberalism. In fact, his actual policies would not have been a great surprise to General Eisenhower. The fact that this is called a "political revolution" is a sign of how far to the right the political spectrum has shifted, mainly in the last 30 years since the neoliberal programs began to be instituted. What he was calling for was a restoration of something like New Deal Liberalism, which is a very good thing.” YearsMeanPersonsHas BeensFactsLastsPoliticalDealsHonestPolicyRevolutionCallingConcernedProgramGood ThingsSurpriseVery GoodSocialismDecentLiberalismSpectrumRestorationNew DealHonest PersonPolitical SpectrumPolitical Revolution Author:Noam Chomsky
