Some position which is very broadly 'socially conservative' will always exist. But its content need not be the same throughout history: does the Southern revanchist eugenicist of 1924 have basically anything in common with his pro-life, natalist grandson in 2014, beyond a vague yearning for a (mostly illusory) past?

Which is why I am, as accused elsewhere, extremely interested in neo-reactionism, the 'Dark Enlightenment', Droite Nouvelle, etc. as possible emergent alternatives to the tired, stale social and moral populism of the Nixon/Reagan GOP. I will always find myself on the other side of the table from organized Christianity, but in certain contexts I could easily be a Rightist (though not ever a 'conservative').

Why? Nothing in Marx is teleological. Nor does it preclude recursion.
