Whatever “conservatism” is, it does not involve the conservation of a stable climate, or the polar ice caps, or the coral reefs, or the global food supply.

Im still trying to work out a functional public-serving system of government.
If the system can adjust to the changing needs of the public, then policy can be modified while retaining the system.
Once the system stops producing public-serving policy, that’s government failure (such as regulatory capture), and then the system needs to be adjusted.
When the system fails to serve public interests more than it serves other interests (say, elite interests) then it sucks and needs to be changed at the systemic level.
I’m pretty sure Marx goes through this in Das Kapital
