Not to be confused with Liberal conservatism or Progressive conservatism.

"Socialist conservatism" redirects here. Not to be confused with Social Conservatism.

Left-conservatism is a political ideology that combines left-wing economic stances with social conservatism. The ideology is sometimes referred to as socialist conservatism, though these terms are not necessarily identical in meaning.

Often manifesting itself in Old Left–inspired Marxist parties, left-conservatism places a greater emphasis on collectivism and class struggle while rejecting left-wing cultural issues and identity politics. Some left-conservatives view class struggle as having evolved into a struggle between civilizations. Supporters of the ideology uphold Marxian economics, socialist economics or Keynesianism and generally hold negative views on the New Left, intersectionality, abortion, drugs, bourgeois feminism, LGBT rights, environmentalism, immigration, and the abolition of capital punishment.
