    This. Economics is a social science where every theory or opinion aims to achieve different varying desired outcomes for different people and in achieved in different ways, with spectrums for every step along the process. The entire field is on a spectrum, that also generally aligns with the political spectrum because politics, like economics, strives to achieve a certain outcome for a certain group of people, in a certain way. Trying to disentangle the field of economics from people. and the politics that people create, is a red flag for not actually knowing what economics is.

      Ah, so it’s not that they’re conservative, it’s that they desire the same things conservatives want. But they’re totally apolitical, and it’s just a happy coincidence.

                  Just because the two options you have to choose from are shit doesn’t mean they are still both shit - it is hilarious watching you Americans cry socialism about policies that in most of the civilised world would be considered right or centre-right.

                  Google the definition of conservative and tell me how that changes based on what country we are talking about.

                  " favouring free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional ideas."

                  I’d love you to try and convince me that neoliberalism doesn’t fit under the above.
