conservatism hasn't failed. conservatism is simply conserving what already exists, in this case social structure, heritage, institutions, etc that have worked.
we have often failed to conserve, but I dont see how the act of conserving what already works could ever be seen as a failure?
whats ironic is conservatism is seen as being of the right, while conservationism is seen as of the left, yet they are both the same thing.
both from the Latin conservare, meaing to guard, protect or preserve.
