As to what conservatism is, I write about that a lot:
It is a focus on order beyond the individual and the social group; we call it realism, and it tends to favor historically-proven results and a case-by-case basis instead of ideological categorical containers.
About ten thousand people in North America can successfully parse that sentence.
Fascists are hybrids. Fascism is corporatism, i.e. state control through corporations.
What does my profile say?
"Furthest Right: raging realism plus transcendental reverence. I write at https://www.amerika.org/ and https://www.deathmetal.org/ about topics such as nihilism, ecofascism, paganism, eugenics, capitalism, perennialism, conservatism, natural selection, and of course death metal."
Ecofascism is a separate movement. You read your Linkola and Kaczynski?

Lincoln was a radical. He, too, was a hybrid, in that he came from the Anglo tradition but was outside of it as a "radical."
He was a progressive of his age. He was closer to Marx than Washington.

By definition, the Radical Republicans were progressives.
Back then it had a lot more to do with industry than Communism.

Slavers were just there to make money, and most of them were Arabic, Chinese, or Jewish.

Fascists still believe in the State; conservatives are free market devotees but ambivalent if not hostile to the State.
