Well, I have to give you this. You didn’t try to frame it in terms of today. Marx… 1818 to 1883. Jefferson 1743-1836. DATED.
I have to strenuously disagree with linking Jefferson to conservative. He was almost a flaming liberal for his time, for instance, he was one of the earliest to insist that it was my ancestors who built the monumental earthworks the “settlers” kept encountering, and not some mythical (and non-existant) “Lost Tribe of Israel” (or other non-Indian group).
He was also a scientist, and for his time, very advanced. He was definitely NOT a “Christian” by the usual definition (except his ideas do fit in with a segment of Unitarianism and he DID attend a Unitarian church at one time). In fact, it’s a bit funny that you’d connect him with conservatism.
