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.

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.
