Neoconservatism
Neoconservatism (also referred to as NeoCon) is a branch of conservatism originating in the United States during the 1960s that favors a broadly interventionist foreign policy. He's usually much more defined by his foreign policy than his domestic policy - NeoCon can fall into a number of groups or camps regarding domestic affairs, and will oftentimes "sell" his vote on a domestic issue in order to buy someone else's vote on one of his foreign policy proposals. Neoconservatism typically advocates the promotion of democracy and interventionism in international affairs, including peace through strength (by means of military force), and is known for espousing disdain for File:Marxlen.png communism and other forms of
political radicalism. Culturally, most NeoCons are right-leaning, usually being pro-life among other things, but still liberal on certain issues. However, there exist a large fraction of much more socially liberal politicians who advocate for neoconservative foreign policy, often called Liberal Hawks, who tend to overlap with the
Third Way
branch of liberalism.
History
The United States
The idea of the US and The West as a promoter of freedom and democracy through militaristic means has existed since the early 20th century and was popularized after the end of WWII with the defeat of the Axis Powers. However, the term "neoconservatism" wasn't coined until the 1960s during the midst of the Vietnam War.
Between the 1950's and the 1960's, future NeoCons endorsed the Civil Rights Movement, racial integration, and the movement of Martin Luther King Jr. Also, during this time, there was widespread support among future NeoCons (who were classified as Liberals at the time) for widespread military action to prevent a File:Marxlen.png communist takeover in North Vietnam.
The initial Neoconservative movement was brought forward by the repudiation of the Cold War and the "New Politics" of the new and File:Progress.png Progressive American "New Left", which NeoCons believed was too close to the counterculture running rampant in the United States at the time and too alienated from the majority of the American population. The "New Left" which the NeoCons were dissatisfied with supported/believed in some radical aspects such as "Black Power", which accused white Liberals and northern Jews of hypocrisy on integration and of supporting supposed Settler Colonialism during the Israeli-Palestine conflict during the late 1960's. Finally, they were most unsettled by the File:Progress.png New Left's "anti-anti communism", which during the mid-to-late 1960's that included outspoken support of File:Marxlen.png Marxist–Leninist policies. Many were particularly alarmed by what they saw as antisemitism stemming from "Black Power" communities in the New Left.
As the policies of the New Left made the Democrats increasingly leftist, these intellectuals became disillusioned with President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society domestic programs. The neoconservatives then rejected the counter-cultural File:Progress.png New Left and what they considered Anti-Americanism in the
non-interventionism of activism against the Vietnam War. After the anti-war faction took control of the party during 1972 and nominated George McGovern, the Democrats among them endorsed Washington Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson instead for his unsuccessful 1972 and 1976 campaigns for president.
A theory of neoconservative foreign policy during the 1970's was criticizing the foreign policy of Jimmy Carter, which endorsed détente with the Soviet Union. During the 1990's, neoconservatives were once again opposed to the foreign policy establishment, both during the Republican Administration of President George H. W. Bush and that of his
Democratic successor, President Bill Clinton. Many critics charged that the neoconservatives lost their influence as a result of the end of the File:Marxlen.png Marxist Soviet Union.
After the decision of George H. W. Bush to leave Saddam Hussein in power after the first Iraq War in 1991, many neoconservatives considered this policy a betrayal of democratic principles. During the early 2000's, the presidency of George W. Bush did not initially show strong endorsement of the neoconservative idea. This, however, changed dramatically as a result of the 9/11 attacks. During Bush's State of the Union speech of January 2002, he named Iraq,
Iran, and
North Korea states that "constitute an axis of evil" and "pose a grave and growing danger". The Bush Doctrine of preemptive war was stated explicitly in the National Security Council text, "National Security Strategy of the United States" that was published in September of 2002. It stated, "We must deter and defend against the threat before it is unleashed (...) even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy's attack. (...) The United States will, if necessary, act preemptively". The Bush Doctrine was greeted with an extremely positive reception by many neoconservatives. By 2010, U.S. forces had switched from combat to a training role in
Iraq and they left in 2011.
Since Trump took office, neoconservatives have supported the Trump administration's hawkish approach towards
Iran and
Venezuela, while opposing the administration's withdrawal of troops from
Syria and diplomatic outreach to
North Korea.
NATO
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, commonly known by its abbreviation NATO, is an intergovernmental military alliance between 28 European countries and 2 North American countries. Established in the aftermath of World War II, the organization implements the North Atlantic Treaty which was signed on 4 April 1949. NATO serves the role of collective security, whereby its member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party whether it be another country or a terrorist organization. The NATO headquarters are located in Brussels,
Belgium. As of the year 2022, there are 30 member states within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the last of which to join was North Macedonia in March 2020. NATO currently recognizes
Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Georgia, and
Ukraine as aspiring members.

Françafrique refers to the French sphere of influence in West and North Africa. Following the decolonization of Africa during the 1950s-1960s,
France continued to maintain close political, economic, military, and cultural ties with its former colonies in the western and northern parts of the continent which have included
Mali,
Burkina Faso,
Chad,
Niger, among other countries.
The United States supported
France's continuing presence in Africa to prevent the region from falling under
Soviet influence during the Cold War.
France saw itself as a guarantor of stability in the region and therefore adopted an interventionist policy in Africa, resulting in military interventions that averaged once a year from 1960 to the mid-1990s. Françafrique has been weakened since the end of the Cold War due to budgetary constraints, greater public scrutiny at home and the integration of
France into the
European Union.

South Korea
- Operation Black List Forty: Operation Black List Forty was the codename for
the United States' occupation of Korea between 1945 and 1948 following the end of World War II and
Japan's surrender.
The partition of Korea into occupation zones was proposed in August 1945, by the United States to the Soviet Union following the latter's entry into the war against Japan. The 38th parallel north was chosen to separate the two occupation zones on August 10 by two American officers, Dean Rusk and Charles Bonesteel, working on short notice and with little information on Korea's geography. The US would occupy the Southern part of the peninsula and the Soviets would occupy the North. The Americans hoped to establish a representative government supportive of American policy in the region, and the Soviets hoped to establish another communist nation friendly to their interests.
General Douglas MacArthur, who was in command of the occupation of Japan, ordered the commander of Operation Blacklist Forty, Lieutenant General John R. Hodge, to maintain a "harsh" occupation of Korea, with the goal of establishing an independent Korean government friendly to US interests. Due to due to a shortage of manpower, Hodge temporarily allowed the old Japanese police force to remain on duty for crowd control and similar work until the American replacements arrived. It is said that General Hodge's most significant contribution to the occupation was the alignment of his military government with that of Korea's wealthy
anti-Communist faction, and the promotion of men who had previously collaborated with the Japanese into positions of authority.
The Koreans who collaborated with the Japanese imperialists during the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945) would later be known as "Chinilpa" (친일파), meaning "Pro-Japan Faction." Among the notable Chinilpa was the former President and Military Dictator Park Chung-hee who served as the leader of South Korea from 1961 to 1979.
As the US and the Soviets were unable to establish a unified Korean government friendly to both nations' interests, the US sent the "Korean question" to the UN who proceeded with providing the Koreans with UN-supervised elections. However, the elections only applied to the portion of Korea south of the 38th parallel, as the Soviets saw the North as within its own sphere of influence. Exiled Korean leader
Syngman Rhee was inaugurated as President of
the Republic of Korea on 24 July 1948.
The United States and South Korea signed a military assistance pact on January 26, 1950. A few months later, the Korean War broke out which would last until 1953.
Park Chung-hee: The South Korean government, under the administration of Park Chung-hee, took an active role in the Vietnam War, as an ally of
South Vietnam and
the US.
From 1964 to 1973, South Korea sent some 350,000 troops to South Vietnam. The Republic of Korea would come under heavy scrutiny for Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất massacre of 1968 in which South Korean troops were to said have massacred 69-74 South Vietnamese civilians. The ROK blamed said massacre on Viet Cong dressed as South Korean marines.

Neoconservatism in Japan, also known as the neo-defense school, refers to a hawkish new generation of Japanese conservatives most of which are members of the
Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and whom also may have been part of the ultranationalist, revisionist organization of
Nippon Kaigi. As members of the post-war generation, Japanese neocons view themselves as free of responsibility or guilt for Japan's conquests past war crimes that happened during the
Imperial Era. It is worth noting that some past members of the Liberal Democratic Party and Nippon Kaigi were soldiers in the Imperial Japanese Army during the Pacific War. This includes former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone who was stationed in Borneo during the Dutch East Indies campaign, and the founder of
Nippon Kaigi, Koichi Tsukamoto who fought against the British Allied Forces in the Battle of Imphal during the Burma Campaign.
What defines the neoconservatives of the Liberal Democratic Party from other Japanese politicians is their desire to change and reinterpret the country's constitution, especially Article 9 which is viewed as obsolete. This would enable Japan to re-arm to the level of most other countries.
During the Premiership of Junichiro Koizumi, the Japanese government
aided western powers in the Iraq War through the Japanese Iraq Reconstruction and Support Group (JIRSG) a battalion-sized, largely humanitarian contingent of the Japan Self-Defense Forces that was sent to Samawah, Southern Iraq in early January 2004 and withdrew by late July 2006.
Poland ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/a/a0/PiS.png)
Neoconservatism originated in Poland after the collapse of Communism in 1989. Polish Left-Wing President Aleksander Kwaśniewski, despite being a former communist, was really supportive of NATO and Poland joined NATO, during his presidency in 1999, Kwaśniewski also intervened in Iraq along with Blair and Bush JR. Currently, Neoconservatism is supported, mostly in Poland by the ruling party "Law and Justice", by former President, Lech Kaczyński, current President Andrzej Duda, and minister of defense Antoni Macierewicz.

Václav Havel- was a Czech statesman, playwright, and former dissident, who served as the last president of Czechoslovakia from 1989 until its dissolution in 1992 and then as the first president of the Czech Republic from 1993 to 2003. He was the first democratically elected president of either country after the fall of communism. His educational opportunities in his younger years were greatly limited due to his "bourgeois" background, and thus he would rise to prominence as a playwright who would use an absurdist style to criticize the oppressive communist system of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
After participating in the Prague Spring and being blacklisted after the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, Václav Havel became more politically active and helped found several dissident initiatives, including Charter 77 and the Committee for the Defense of the Unjustly Prosecuted. His political activities brought him under the surveillance of the StB secret police, and he spent multiple periods as a political prisoner, the longest of his imprisoned terms being nearly four years, between 1979 and 1983.
Václav Havel's Civic Forum party played a major role in the Velvet Revolution that toppled the Communist system in Czechoslovakia in 1989. He assumed the presidency shortly thereafter and was re-elected in a landslide the following year and after Slovak independence in 1993. Among the notable things, he did as President was granting general amnesty to all those imprisoned during the Communist era. On 12 March 1999, the Czech Republic joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), one of several former Warsaw-Pact States of Central and Eastern Europe to join said multinational organization.
Italy ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/4/42/Berlusconi.png)
Italy during the Premiership of
Silvio Berlusconi was a solid ally of
the United States during the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War. Operation Ancient Babylon (Italian: Operazione Antica Babilonia) was the code name given to the deployment of Italian forces during the Iraq War, consisting of 3200 soldiers stationed in and around the city of Nasiriyah. Their mission lasted from 15 July 2003 to 1 December 2006. Italy lost 36 soldiers during the said operation.
Romania ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/2/2e/PSD.png)
- Ion Iliescu-Ion Iliescu is a Romanian politician and engineer, the founder of the
Social Democratic Party, who served as President of Romania from 1989 to 1996 and from 2000 to 2004. Iliescu rose to prominence during the
communist era when he joined the Romanian Communist Party (PCR) in 1953 and became a member of its Central Committee in 1965. He was eventually marginalized by dictator
Nicolae Ceaușescu and eventually came to play a leading role in the Romanian Revolution during the fall of communism.
After the overthrow of Ceaușescu in December 1989, Ion Iliescu was recognized as the co-leader leader of the National Salvation Front (FSN) an organization formed by second-rank Communist party members opposed to the policies of Ceaușescu to fill in the power vacuum caused by the fall of the dictator and lead the transition to parliamentary democracy. In recent times Iliescu has been accused of committing crimes against humanity by approving deadly militaristic measures against civilians during the aftermath of the Romanian Revolution.
In 2004, during Iliescu's second presidency, Romania joined NATO and has taken part in the War in Afghanistan and the Iraq War with boots-on-the-ground troops in both wars.

Economics
The economic policy of neoconservatism has been described by journalist Irving Kristol (dubbed 'The Godfather of Neoconservatism') as being one which gives 'Two Cheers for Capitalism', the first cheer being the fact 'it works; in a quite simple, material sense' and the second being that it is 'congenial to a large measure of personal liberty', Kristol argues that these two measures are no small measure which only capitalism has been shown to achieve. Nonetheless, Kristol also criticises capitalism for being a system which puts too much stress and burden on the individual which creates a 'spiritual malaise', which threatens the social order. Withholding the third cheer according to Kristol is a distinctive feature of Neoconservatism.[3]

Liberal Conservatism - Good libtard, he loves it when I topple non-liberal regimes!
Imperialism - Everyone knows that you're the solution to promoting democracy and stopping terrorism.
Zionism - Israel is our greatest ally and the only democracy in the Middle East. Really supported him when he needed it back in the '60s!
Neoliberalism - My Greatest Ally in spreading the free market worldwide.
Neo-Libertarianism - He's alright. He advocates for a minimalist state, which I constantly argue with him about! Like, how are you going to have a strong interventionist foreign policy without a somewhat strong state? However, he does support free-market capitalism, so he's splendid in that regard!
Third Way - My socially liberal counterpart and best friend who has helped me spread the free market across the globe for the past 30 years. From Yugoslavia to Iraq to Libya, our teamwork makes the dream work.
Rama IX Thought - You were truly a great king of the Thai people, your majesty Bhumibol and you got my respect for helping me prevent the spread of communism across South East Asia. However, your son is just an embarrassment.
Patriotism - AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!!!
Civic Nationalism - As long as they come here legally.
Time to make that as difficult as possible.Monarcho-Capitalism &
Islamic Theocracy - Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf monarchies are based allies of mine in the struggle against communism and Iran.
Pinochetism - "We want to help, not undermine you. You did a great service to the West in overthrowing Allende." -Henry Kissinger
Stratocracy - There's nothing I love more than replacing socialist or Soviet-alligned democratically elected leaders with brutal military dictators!
Fujimorism - I aided him against the commie terrorists.

Ordo-Liberalism - Same for you, Ludwig Erhard saved Germany.
Liberal Democratic Party of Japan - My Japanese counterpart.
Zelenskyyism - Here, have some more weapons and keep up good job!
Frenemies
Gaullism - My French counterpart who've done an excellent job of maitaining order and stability in West Africa over the course of history. However, you're too hostile towards NATO and I'm disappointed that Jaques Chirac didn't support the Iraq War. Although you've made France an
imperialistsuperpower of its own so you got my respect.Democracy - I'll bomb countries to dust just to spread you, so why do you always complain about me rigging foreign elections, aiding dictators, overthrowing elected leaders, and installing tyrants?
State Liberalism - Why do the drone pilots have to be female? And please, spare my domestic traditionalist supporters and don't attack every outdated country, Saudis are still a good friend.
Conservatism
- My moderate father. He could be a little stronger on his diplomatic issues, but otherwise he's alright.
You're still not interventionist enough, and complain when states that follow tradition are invaded!Trotskyism - You have some good ideas, just the wrong economic system to spread. You don’t play well with opposing countries, however, which is a desirable trait. You’re just too left for me.
Thanks for teaching me all I know. I love you so much dad.Bull Moose Progressivism - American imperialism? BASED! Just be at least a bit more culturally right, and cool it with the trust-busting! Capitalism has helped us acquire the wealth we need to conquer commie countries correctly.
Social Liberalism - FDR should have intervened in WWII earlier and not compensated with Stalin. However, Harry S. Truman, JFK, and LBJ were all based AF.
Berlusconism - Thanks for your help during the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but your friendship with Putin make me nervous.
Bidenism - Voting for the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the Iraq War, and bombing Syria was hella based. Unfortunately, you lost me on the Afghanistan withdrawal. Just why man?
Caudillismo - I like you when you're with me, and hate you when you're against me.
Authoritarian Conservatism - We both like conservatism and strong government, but some of you are against me, so I will take them out.
Trumpism - Good job with
Iran and
Venezuela, but let me take down those damn
Koreans! Please tell your followers that my policies actually support the America First agenda.
Jihadism - Forwards, my boy, go overthrow those damned File:Marxlen.png Commies and
Arab dictators. What do you mean, "I'm an infidel too"? Well I fought this guy in Afghanistan, but also helped him against the commies there too.
Neo-Ottomanism - He's still a NATO member, and yet, he still doesn't follow my orders.
Orbanism - Same as above.
Social Democracy - I have overthrown many social-democratic leaders of the third world in the past whom tried to nationalize their country's resources. However, many of your followers in the west still support military interventions. The General Secretary of NATO, for example, is a Norwegian social democrat. Also, Bernie voting for the NATO interventions in Yugoslavia and Afghanistan was based!
Maoism - I helped you fight the Japanese imperialists during WWII but then we became enemies during the early stages of the Cold War. Luckily, Nixion and Kissinger found common ground with you over our shared hatred for the Soviet Imperialists and we became allies again.
Dengism - We've had a complicated relationship over the course of history, to say the least. We were on the same side in many conflicts during the 1970s-1990s, such as the Third Indochina War and the Iran-Iraq War. And some of my followers such as Henry Kissinger still defend you. However, I cannot allow China to end the US/NATO-led rules-based international order so unfortunately, I have to kill you as I did to many of my other former allies who started to go against my interests. Don't take it personally.
Democratic Confederalism -
Your Syrian variant is alright, and I support it over
Assad but
your Turkish variant is just terrorist and disgusting. Also, Turkey is kinda based!
Person Dignity Theory - I helped you against
the dirty Vietnamese commies, but you barely listened to me, so you needed to go.
Ilminism - I also helped you against
the filthy North Korean commies, but you hate
Imperialism and compare me to him.

Francoism - He joined at me but he doesn't like me and I dislike how fascist he is
Authoritarian Democracy - I will let you be, but if I get a single hint of socialism...
Gaddafism - He was a useful idiot during the War on Terror. That's about it.
Gorbachevism - Good job destroying the USSR, pal.
Too bad you were doing it to try and copyhim.
Yeltsinism - Same as above, although I won't forgive you appointing Putin Prime Minister of Russia.
Medvedevism - I'd much rather have you in charge of Russia than Putin since you supported the overthrow of Gaddafi.
National Conservatism - We both work together against commies, but the complains about me "ErOdInG SoVeRgInItY" and opposes my goal of international capitalism.
European Federalism - Believe it or not I can actually go behind this European Army ideas..... if you Europoors can actually find your will to do it.
Paternalistic Conservatism - Spends too much on welfare and too little on warfare, but PiS are still good.
White Nationalism - I supported you against ANC, but now you are bad for PR and you call me a "Zogbot", whatever that means.
National Capitalism - Banzer, Videla and Stroessner were useful caudillos, and we are both culturally right authcaps, but culturally too far for me and you complain about my alliances with my (((FRIENDS))).
Bolsonarism - Your admiration of Pinochet and the Military Dictatorship of Brazil is incredibly based since I helped said regimes and dictators come to power. What do you mean internationalism is bad?
Ho Chi Minh Thought - I helped you against the Japanese imperialists but then we became enemies after you demanded independence from the French and invaded South Vietnam. Even though it is difficult for me to accept defeat, I must admit that you were a worthy opponent for 20 years during the Vietnam War. Our relationship has however improved again since the Đổi Mới reforms and at least we both hate China, although for different reasons. (I still have flashbacks)
Ba'athism and
Arab Socialism - I helped Nasser overthrow King Farouk I but then we became enemies during the Suez Crisis and the Six Days War. I gave Saddam tons of weapon packages to counter Iran during the 1970s-1980s but then we became enemies after he invaded my ally Kuwait. Assadist Syria was my ally during the Gulf War and during the early stages of the War on Terror but then... Yeah you can tell where this is going...
Titoism - My market socialist ally who made the Stalinites and Hoxhaites cope and seethe. H̶a̶h̶a̶,̶ ̶c̶o̶l̶l̶a̶p̶s̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶Y̶u̶g̶o̶s̶l̶a̶v̶i̶a̶ ̶g̶o̶ ̶b̶r̶r̶r̶r̶.

Notes
- ↑ It is generally accepted that the neoconservative brand of interventionism is partially influenced by the
Trotskyist conception of the permanent revolution being re-applied to
Liberalism instead of
Marxism. This is believed to be likely as most founding members of the neoconservative movement were former Trotskyists. Nonetheless, the claim that neoconservative interventionism is influenced by the Trotskyist idea of permanent revolution is disputed by neoconservatives, saying that neoconservative stances on foreign policy were formed independently of the Trotskyist conception of permanent revolution and claiming the idea that Neoconservatism is influenced by Trotskyism is
paleoconservative misinformation made against them.[1]
