funny, because a lot of my core beliefs are what could be called “conservative”. I like markets - but not as some abstract ideal, but as a mechanism for balancing supply and demand - to the benefit of all participants.

I favor individual initiative and personal responsibility. But individuals also have the right to collectivize. We do it all the time with investors in the form of limited-liability corporations, but why do conservatives throw tizzy fits when workers or consumers form unions or cooperatives?

There’s conservatism in how we live our lives and then there’s political conservatism. And yes freedom to assemble. They hate unions and co-ops because they don’t like people making common cause against the assholes that bread their butter.
