    But conservatism doesn’t mean right wing. Conservatism means traditionalism. If your parents don’t let you date until your 18 and say no sex before marriage we say they are conservative / traditional. It has nothing to do with any specific political ideology. It depends what is traditional in your country. You really missed out on a basic education.

      socially right wing. conservative means social policies which maintain the status quo and resist change. Same as socially right wing. Allowing women to vote was a change, and was inclusive - both socially left wing. (That is, there are absolutely political ideologies that align with this)

      there’s also economically right wing, which is capitalism, or economically left, which is socialism, and eventually communism.

      The person you’re replying to is absolutely removed, there is no doubt - but you’re not correct in this area either.

        You agreed with me and then you said I was wrong. All I am doing is explaining the meaning of words.
