- mantas 4y agoHow many of those who you call conservatives where left-wing when young? Maybe they changed some views, but retained the love of total control :) I'm not sure about current EC, but the one under Juncker had plenty of far-left-when-young people. Far left as in Marxist and Maoist in 1970s-1980s. P.S. Fun story from ex-USSR country... At the very end of USSR, it was USSR apparatchiks who were called conservatives :)
