    The neoconservative movement was founded by former trots, and a lot of former trots are now neocons. Especially in Britain.

      It makes sense though

      Trots are typically enamoured with capitalist dictatorship (ie. bourgeois democracy)

      So they run around clucking about "dictatorships!" in 3rd world countries and insisting if the people rise up they will have a socialist revolution. So they destroy people like Gadaffi and oh "whoops!" the entire country is destroyed and jihadis fight over ruble and sell Africans at slave markets

      They then go onabout " Stalinism in Syria" in 2018 - long after the opposition that had initially opposed Assad had returned to become fervent supporters of Assad by 2012 due to the proxy armies and jihadis entering Syrian soil.

      Everything is stalinism to them. They're punching smoke.

      You can see how - losing faith in socialism you instead move your permanent revolution to exporting bourgeois democracy

      Bam! You're 50 and waving a vial of white powder in parliament telling everyone Iraq is 45 minutes ready to launch

            Luxemburgism like democratic socialism isn't a thing.
