Conservative is not always bad, but take it too far and you end up with fascists and stalinists.

When have conservatives ever been on the right side of history?

The situation was mostly middle-ground, but the US in Cold war? In the USSR, the far left policies gave way for the Far right stalinists to take charge when Lennon died.

The problems with the USSR were a case of leftists making mistakes that allowed reactionaries to take over, not a case of conservatives being on the right side of history.
