Conservatives and Libertarians

Basically, Libertarians put economics above the community, Conservatives put community above economics. There are variations in this, such as, “Conservative Libertarians” and “Libertarian Anarchists,” but the difference between Libertarians and Conservatives is defined by where they place their values and morals regarding community and economics.

Economic production can only be considered a means to a higher end. In the Evolutionary Christian Church the highest end is our evolution to Godhood and all that this requires. Free Enterprise has been a marvelous dynamic for creating wealth, and it must be affirmed, but it must also be subordinated to the community; yet not so subordinate as to destroy incentive, as happened with Communism. Light subordination of economics, as in Light Federalism, is the healthy balance between economics and the needs of the community.
