Conservatism

A strain of political thought that believes the status quo should be maintained. Conservatives do not like change and think it should be avoided. This term is in itself paradoxical because based on the of conservative and it opposite, liberal, each term is interchangeable for a person despite political agendas. This goes against modern ways of thinking as today we have a specified group for liberal and conservative. However, in its pure sense conservatives and liberals are actually always changing. As its said: "The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution."
