Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

This is literally it. The thing they want to conserve is the way society is, or rather, the way it was back in the mid-1900's. That's why they're on the other end of the spectrum from progressives, who want progress and change.
I don't even find that to be true. They adopt technology based on the whims of advertising they consume. Donald Trump was king of Twitter and they ate that up. They just don't follow what they say. They say they hate California, but consume every bit of technology (like Twitter, Apple, Disney, sports teams) they can that comes out of it.
Not technology, just society. They want men to be the defacto head of all households, they want women to be stay-at-home mothers, and they want white people to be in charge of everything.
