1. Belief in natural law for individual and society wherein political problems are religious and moral problems as well.
2. Affinity for multicultural aspects of human society instead of a "narrowing" egalitarianism.
3. Belief that a civilized society is hierarchical (requiring orders and classes) and though all are equal in God's eyes or equal before the law, any push for equality of condition will be servitude and boredom; and, so without a clear sense of natural distinctions (e.g., push for a "classless society") then oligarchy surfaces.
4. Belief that private property correlates closely to freedom, so economic leveling does not led to economic progress.
5. Belief in prescriptive social and economic conditions (custom, convention) vs. reconstruction of society based on abstract designs; tradition puts a check on human anarchic impulses or on demagogue's lust for power
6. Belief that change (especially too quickly made) should not be assumed as progress; though alterations are needed for preservation, a statesman must be prudent.

VS.

1. Perfectibility of man and society, especially through education and positive legislation (denying human nature is basically brutish and sinful)
2. Rational thought and individual desire for betterment might need to overturn traditional structures including formal religion and socio-political privileges.
3. Ultimate goal is complete and direct democracy for all citizens within a centralized state; a wariness for the old parliamentary (virtual representation) system.
4. Affinity for collectivistic and collaborative efforts across class, race, and gender that can also be measured materialistically; this might mean restructuring of individual property rights so that access and opportunity is broadened.
