Activist Phyllis Schlafly, sometimes known as the "First Lady of conservatism." Her bestselling book A Choice Not an Echo was called in 2023 the "canonical text of movement conservatism."[1]
A movement conservative advocates for across-the-board conservative principles, in contrast with cafeteria, single-issue, or self-serving approaches. Movement conservatives embrace conservative philosophy as a coherent whole. Movement conservatives favor charity and logic rather than self-centered behavior and therefore reject the liberal agenda and the teachings of Ayn Rand, who advocated for selfishness.
A movement conservative seeks to help others and the nation by advocating for the logical, entirely conservative approach. A movement conservative is not primarily seeking political gain for himself or herself, but strives for the benefit of all.
