I don’t think neocons were ever legit. This was an attempt to infiltrate the “New York Intellectuals” and their publications, just like they did later with Ramparts Magazine
And I don’t see the cynicism in Trotsky’s writing, agree with him or not. Permanent Revolution is anything but cynical.
My statement remains the same.
Okay, whatever.
So. Were they chicken? Because that’s the topic.

I didn’t say Trotsky himself was a cynic.
I said that Trots, and other people who formerly had revolutionary politics, became neocons out of cynicism.
Not because they’re chicken.
