I "Neo" was code for Jew?
Sure. I qualify.
Depends on who ya ask, now don’t it...?
Yeah, “neocon” is the term used by the left when they’re afraid to say “k*ke”.
And they article has it wrong - the left doesn’t usually use the term “fascist” - it’s usually “facist”.
Functionally that’s how ‘neoconservative’ is used.
Properly the word describes former leftists who have become conservatives, especially if they still have a vague nostaligia for some leftist ideas they now recognize to be utterly unworkable. The one really notable person who clearly fits the description ‘neoconservative’ who isn’t Jewish is Michael Novak.
A lot of people fitting that description happen to be Jews, hence the usage of the word among leftists and Buchananites.
Neo-Con, when the term was originated, was a group of mostly "ex"-Communist, entirely anti-Soviet persons. They were certainly not conservative in domestic matters then and, in the opinion of many, are not conservative now. They included Jeane Kirkpatrick, Irvin Kristol, etc.
I’m not sure, but I have read that a Neo-Con is an allegedly reformed Trotskyite Communist.
