Some call the neoconservatives like Rumsfeld... "Marxist Right".
Funny thing is that some of them are apparently former Trotskyists ( a variant of communism for those unfamiliar with soviet history. Stalin had it shot in the USSR )..
Trotsky was really into it too. Advocate of world revolution..
(neocons - they seem to harbor a similar zeal for regime change)
He was the war commissar(most of the time I think) during the civil war after the October revolution.
Now we all know what a former CIA director said about socialism,
(that he who hasn't been a socialist when he was 20 hasn't got a heart, and those who remain socialists at 40 lack a brain. Not sure which one).
They claimed that a communist state cannot exist surrounded by capitalist countries, and revolution has to be exported...
(1919 and the aftermath of WWI was a pretty bleak time. Ze Germans saved it then, most theirs WWI veterans weren't buying into the whole communism things and were pretty good at killing people)

Mind you.. not all of them are up to bad things.. one Scottish lapsed-trotskyist is a pretty entertaining science fiction writer with a distinctly libertarian bent (as far as personal freedom, illegal substances and guns are concerned)....
OT but he has a Communist European Union in one book.. with the current flag with a large red star in its center.. ROTFL.
Bush and his breed betrayed my trust, but at least they courted me.
Isn't the expression "conned me" more accurate?
