Aren't the terms líberal and cônservative completely relative?

That's true but I must point out some of the major themes of the two political philosophies carry over across the board. Typically conservatives in Iran are just as religiously radical as some of the ones we have here at home, granted it's not the same religion but the fact remains that religious absolutism is a common theme. As for liberals the general need for progression in one way shape or form, be it society, government, or economy is a universal theme. However, the terms are still very relative and not just on a global scale but there's many different types of conservatives and liberals within our own country. Though the lines are often blured, there are still certain traits that allow you to put the different types under their appropriate category.
