Its just whatever the status quo is. The purest form of conservatism. If you have a radically socialist society last for enough generations then you'll get moralists defending it against any changes. Hopefully a socialist society would continue to rapidly evolve so this doesn't happen but that's beside the point. Its purely relative.

One of the things that gave me a whiplash (but makes perfect sense in context) is how the socialists in Ostalgie:Berlin Wall are referred to as conservatives.

I've heard zizek describe himself as that, essentially. A "conservative communist" who has whatever ideology is going to preserve whatever is gained by the revolution
