Modern conservatism did not pivot away from the big imperial state it created to win against Soviet communism. And so the neoconservative's arose with the blessing of William F Buckley, with their purges against people like Pat Buchanan and the Old Right's objections to the central state.
A conservative pivot away from the big-state military industrial complex should have been a state rights movement toward ethnostates. Evolutionary conservatism believes that if real kin and ethnic-centered human nature was allowed to be what it is, it would naturally lead to regionalism, localism, general conservative values, eventually ethnostates, and finally an ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all groups, black, white, brown, yellow, or red, with each ethnostate protected from marauding imperialists, global businesses, supremacists, Marxists, etc., and defended by a defensive federalism. An ethnopluralism of ethnostates could be established legally in the United States with our constitutional separation of powers and states.
Human nature has been affirmed throughout human history to this day as being universally kin-centered, gender defined, ethnocentric, even xenophobic, among other conservative things, with group-selection as the primary unit of successful selection followed by individual selection. This has to be taken into account when we try to balance the ethics of states and individuals.
But the conservatives didn't or couldn't make these real conservative changes mainly because they could not accept the biological origin of social behavior.
