as right-wing in the modern context. (I don't think "far right" and "conspiracy theory" are fair labels, though.)
You could go further and say "Defend individual liberty" is a neutral description of rightist policy. Out of time, it shouldn't be inflammatory at all.
Tell that to arch-conservative Anthony Comstock:

> The Comstock Laws were a set of federal acts passed by the United States Congress under the Grant administration along with related state laws.[1] The "parent" act (Sect. 211) was passed on March 3, 1873, as the Act for the "Suppression of Trade in, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use".
Similarly, all of the other religious arguments for censorship, such as the Roman Catholic Church's list of banned books:

The Papist Church is definitely quite conservative.
Sure, it has corruption problems and much of the wealth doesn't make it to the needy. Same with many institutions on the left or right.
It's obviously also socially conservative.
It isn't leftist, it's anti-leftist, given that it has a decree against Communism:

Also, "Papist" is a traditional Conservative term, as per the very Conservative Protestants and Anglicans. I didn't realize a Conservative word would cause offense.
