Sure its a mistake to apply American terms to other countries or to the past, but you keep doing it anyway. You are a conservative because you don't want change and want to return to things as they were before. Someone who wanted to change back to something still wants change. Hey, the Nazis wanted change and not just change back to something, they wanted a new racial and social order that had never existed. Guess that makes them liberals per your simple definition. In fact, I don't believe in any ideal golden age of the past. I want to make things better, so that makes me a real progressive. But I don't think we can ever achieve an ideal on earth, we can only make things marginally better. We should be careful of changing things too much, because people are FU'd and the changes people make usually go wrong. If you were really interested in liberals v conservatives and were more intellectually oriented, I'd suggest you read Thomas Sowell's The Vision of the Annointed and A Conflict of Visions.
