Slavery sucked because it was diversity.

It was also cruel and pointless, since it was low quality labor.

The solution is ending diversity.

I disagree. Conservatives naturally favor organic methods like common law, free markets, culture, and hierarchy.

As far as work to the same ends, I think you have it backwards. Fascism is a hybrid. It borrows some goals and methods from both Left and Right.

Remember the articles of confederation.

Federalism has always been a tricky balance.

We are the United States, not United Citizens.

The most conservative society:

* Absolute monarchy
* Ethno-nationalist
* Free market based
* Caste system
* Culture/religion united

Like anything else, there are degrees of conservatism.

Some conservatives, like GWB, are barely conservative.

Fascists still believe in the State; conservatives are free market devotees but ambivalent if not hostile to the State.

As to what conservatism is, I write about that a lot:

https://www.amerika.org/

It is a focus on order beyond the individual and the social group; we call it realism, and it tends to favor historically-proven results and a case-by-case basis instead of ideological categorical containers.

About ten thousand people in North America can successfully parse that sentence.

Fascists are hybrids. Fascism is corporatism, i.e. state control through corporations.

What does my profile say?

"Furthest Right: raging realism plus transcendental reverence. I write at https://www.amerika.org/ and https://www.deathmetal.org/ about topics such as nihilism, ecofascism, paganism, eugenics, capitalism, perennialism, conservatism, natural selection, and of course death metal."

Ecofascism is a separate movement. You read your Linkola and Kaczynski?

Lincoln was a radical. He, too, was a hybrid, in that he came from the Anglo tradition but was outside of it as a "radical."

He was a progressive of his age. He was closer to Marx than Washington.

By definition, the Radical Republicans were progressives.

Back then it had a lot more to do with industry than Communism.

Lincoln was a radical closer to Marx than the founders.

Slavers were just there to make money, and most of them were Arabic, Chinese, or Jewish.
