The oddly named ‘neoconservative’ movement is neither ‘new’ nor ‘conservative’. It is warmed over Whig Liberalism and Wilsonian democratic-internationalism. This ideology was adopted by ex-Trotskyites and other disaffected Marxists who hated the USSR under Stalinism to the extent that they joined the ranks of the USA during the Cold War in organisations such as the Congress for Cultural Freedom, and the subsequent National Endowment for Democracy, founded by Trotskyites of the Shachtman faction. Even Sedova, Trotsky’s widow, became a Cold War zealot against the USSR.

We charge that a cabal of polemicists and public officials seek to ensnare our country in a series of wars that are not in America’s interests. We charge them with colluding with Israel to ignite those wars and destroy the Oslo Accords. We charge them with deliberately damaging U.S. relations with every state in the Arab world that defies Israel or supports the Palestinian people’s right to a homeland of their own. We charge that they have alienated friends and allies all over the Islamic and Western world through their arrogance, hubris, and bellicosity.

Western Enlightenment-liberal-secularist ideology, or even a bizarre mixture of both, augmented with an Israel First foreign policy. As Dr. Saleam noted, opposition to the incursions of ‘Islamism’ in Western nations, that is to say, the Wahhabism promoted by the USA’s Saudi ally, and rejected by the supposed rogue states, Iran and Syria, should be differentiated from foreign policy entanglements in support of Israel, and the century of Western-imposed chaos that has caused the migrant crisis.

Neo-conservatives have no sense of irony.
