Burke's Anti-Revolutionary Sentiments

He saw a wave of popular passion as having been unleashed through the countryside which would be almost impossible to pacify. That was basically the emboldened envious energy of resentment such as an appeal to equality was bound to provoke. His anti-revolutionary sentiments are why we know him to this day as a conservative. Is it possible to put him on our political spectrum from left to right from democrat to republican? Well that's a difficult question but if I had to encapsulate my view in a nutshell I would say no because many of the ideological slogans and labels which we employ today are a legacy of the 19th century.
