I'm not talking about medievalism in terms of conservative rhetorical content or the movement's historical origin, but strictly about this movement's effects. There's plenty of utopianism in ancient and medieval theology, but that didn't make this rhetoric effectively progressive. I'm ignoring rhetoric and historical causes, for the most part, and focusing mainly on the effects of policies. Do the effects of implementing conservative policies tend to return the social order of developed societies to the medieval European status quo? That's my question here and throughout my series on conservatism.
