Adorno, of course, is famous for "proving" Conservatism to be authoritarian and pathological, so the compass is scarcely likely to treat non-liberals in a fair and productive way.<BR/><BR/>This Telegraph comment followed on from my attempt to find some founding principles not for a Conservative compass particularly but for a nationalist one here:-<BR/><BR/>http://majorityrights.com/index.php/weblog/comments/consciousness_power_or_truth_three_points_for_a_new_compass/<BR/><BR/>It seems to me that Conservatism would require a different treatment, possibly testing the respondee's traditionalism (in a purely secular, Western sense) and then, on the other axis, maybe his individualism <> patriotism, if that dynamic isn't too libertarian in tone.Guessedworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09642216100948501067noreply@blogger.com
