As far as I’m aware, the terms “Liberal” and “Conservative” aren’t exactly mutually exclusive.
“Conservative” originally referred to defending tradition and social order. “Liberal” emphasized individual rights, reform, and limiting state power. Though once opposing forces, the terms have evolved today, someone can be socially liberal but economically conservative, or vice versa. Their meanings often depend on context.
I agree with this mostly. I just believe being economically conservative or economically liberal, as a consequence, buttresses the same economic mode of production. I view that mode of production to be inherently coercive/rightwing.
