Conservatives and the right wing have been inseparable since the French Revolution, bound together by their shared devotion to tradition, established order, and resistance to radical change. The revolution had drawn a line in history - those who sought to preserve the old world, and those who wished to forge a new one.
And those opposing this right-wing conservatism were always new generation, progressive liberals in every country, championing reform, individual rights, and the dismantling of aristocratic privilege. Each generation renewed this struggle with fresh energy and evolving ideals.
