How would Conservatism or Liberalism go full circle?

[Thought Art]

If you take dualities to their extreme they tend to go full circle. How would Liberalism or conservatism go full circle? 
 

 

[Oeaohoo]

They come full circle in the life-cycle of a civilisation.

For example, look at the American situation today and how inverted it has become. The Conservatives want to destroy America and the Liberals want to conserve it… Conservatism and Liberalism have come full circle!

[Oeaohoo]

When a Conservative knows they can no longer conserve, they will instead seek to destroy. Out of that destruction, there is the hope that something new might arise that is worth preserving. As a thirst for something new, this can look like Liberalism. You see this in the more extreme and iconoclastic strands of Conservative thought, for example in Nietzsche’s Antichrist. Nazism also was extremely destructive of traditional German culture.

On the other hand, when a society is extremely liberal, Liberals will of course want to conserve it!

[Oeaohoo]

This is epitomised in Nietzsche’s phrase: “That which you cannot teach to fly, teach to fall faster!”

@Thought Art Conservatism isn’t necessarily the opposite of liberalism. They are not mutually exclusive.
