"… an anti-capitalist ethic continues to develop on the basis of errors by people who condemn the wealth generating institutions to which they themselves owe their existence. Pretending to be lovers of freedom, they condemn several property, contract, competition, advertising, profit, and even money itself. Imagining that their reason can tell them how to arrange human efforts to serve their innate wishes better, they themselves pose a grave threat to civilization."
-F. A. Hayek, The Fatal Conceit: the Errors of Socialism, p. 119
The bars which pass and strike across his gaze
have stunned his sight: the eyes have lost their hold.
To him it seems there are a thousand bars,
a thousand bars and nothing else. No World.
And pacing out that mean, constricted ground,
so quiet, supple, powerful his stride
is like a ritual dance performed around
the center where his baffled will survives.
The silent shutter of his eye sometimes
slides open to admit something outside;
an image runs through each expectant limb
and penetrates his heart, and dies.

There are crucial differences between conservative,
(modern) liberal and classical liberal positions. Being a classical
liberal hinges upon the defense of individual
rights - the omnipresent concern for protection of the minority against
the majority. Classical liberals are a far cry from reactionaries against
change. In fact, they promote changes that many will consider quite radical
in nature. To learn more, read this: Why
I am Not A Conservative by F. A. Hayek
The right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall
not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported
by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched,
and the persons or things to be seized.
