The Nazis were "national socialists", or nationalists, conservatives, and socialists. But you don't have to be a Nazi to be a conservative and socialist. I don't hear much of this combination of views. I think at times I might identify with "conservatarian socialism". I think if people have freedom, they might tend to use it in "socialist" ways at times rather than capitalist ones. Projects like Wikipedia, or conversations on forums here, are for nonprofit gain - there may not be an exchange of text for monetary profit, but everyone is kind of contributing ideas which allows for a voluntary collective enrichment. I think that's completely fine, a voluntary socialism. I don't define socialism as being government collectively owning things - I'd call that statist socialism, in contrast to libertarian socialism. An intellectual "commons" of shared knowledge isn't Communist or State Socialism, I don't think.
Anyway, has anyone given thought to the idea of combining socialism and conservatism together?
Is this already a thing?
edit: probably should have added this for consideration, the Apostles seemed to have observed a kind of, not communism, but communalism:
"And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common." Acts 2:44
