In Western cultures, this often takes the form of advocating for organized religion -- even [[theocracy]], hierarchical social structures helmed by the wealthy -- typically white men, and the preservation of property rights -- often over and above [[human rights]]. # Related concepts - [[Austrian School of Economics]] - [[Christian Nationalism]] - [[Cold War conservatism]] - [[conservative media]] - [[Conservative Resurgence]] - [[Night Watchman State]] - [Strict Father Morality](https://doctorparadox.net/dictionaries/authoritarianism/strict-father-morality/) # Conservative figures - [[Ann Coulter]] - [[Ayn Rand]] - [[Barry Goldwater]] - [[Betsy DeVos]] - [[Charles Koch]] - [[Charles Lindbergh]] - [[Clarence Thomas]] - [[Dick Cheney]] - [[Dinesh D'Souza]] - [[Edmund Burke]] -- regarded as the "Father of Conservatism" - [[Erik Prince]] - [[George W.
