A return to Conservatism in any civilization is, generally speaking, a bad sign. It means you're having to artificially impose values that, in a healthier age, everyone took for granted. A Conservative empire is an empire on its deathbed, desperate to keep itself alive for just one more day.
I'm not aware of a single example of Conservatism bringing an old culture back to a golden age. It doesn't happen. By the time populist and Conservative movements gain traction, it's too late, you just have to ride the Kali Yuga.
