For conservatives, moral
principle is the motive force of politics. In the context of substantive
conservatism, morality serves as the foundation of philosophy, politics,
spirituality and society. It connects the past, present and future, creating
the continuous history of Western civilisation.
The moral compass of
conservatism distinguishes it from the other major schools of mainstream
political thought. In simplified terms they are neo-Marxism, whose animus is
the ideology of revolutionary socialism led by manufactured minorities;
classical liberalism, whose advocates cultivate individual liberty as a
counterforce to statism; and centrism, which combines pragmatism with rational
planning. Jennifer Oriel
