Conservative left
The conservative left or conservative socialism is a political combination of economic left socialism, principles of popular sovereignty with conservatism.
Description[edit]
Left-wing conservatism is a combination, as a mixed idea defending the ideas of social justice and popular sovereignty, the defense of the family and traditional values as well as a left-wing nationalism mixed with a restriction of social progressivism, notably opposition to abortion rights, feminism and post-modernism.[1][2]
Diffusion[edit]
The conservative left is strongly anchored in Russian left-wing nationalism, often mixed with a strong adherence to Orthodox Christianity and its moral principles, in rejection of Westernization and right-wing economic liberalism deemed morally decadent.[3]
For Rabotyazhev “The possibility of the existence of such a political phenomenon as left-wing conservatism is explained by the fact that conservative and socialist ideologies initially had a number of points of contact. Conservatism and socialism, in reaction to the modernization process, rejected a liberal civilization based on individualism, rationalism and the power of money."[3]
Rabotyayev describes that the Izborsky Club is imbued with left-wing conservative thought, some members of which strive to achieve a synthesis of "red" (Soviet) and "white" (tsarist) traditions.[3]
The term "left-wing conservative" was used by the Russian nationalist writer Zakhar Prilepin for the founding of his political party, For Truth.[4]
A part of the Latin American left-wing that rejects neoliberalism by professing anti-imperialism and socialism has adopted socially conservative positions under the influence of religion.[2]
Religious socialism are also strongly imbued with conservatism through their moral principles.
“Left” as a relative position among conservatives[edit]
In the political spectrum, which supposes a rivalry between left and right, we naturally find some conservatives whose policies are relatively left-wing or close to innovation.[5]

中国のばあい、改革派は市場経済移行を説き、保守派はマルクス主義や統制にこだわる。つまり、保守派が左傾しているのだ。香港の雑誌で「保守左派」という言葉も見た。一部の専門家は、このまぎらわしさをきらって、保守派を守旧派と言い換えている。
