Though there are better labels for people like William F. Buckley and Reagan than neoconservative. They're movement conservatives, which as a big tent does include neocons but is in no way a synonym. That tent also includes lolbertarians sometimes :^)
"Neoconservative" is itself kind of a loaded term which people like William Kristol have relatively recently decided to apply to themselves. Honestly a really wishy washy label in this day and age, and not entirely relevant anymore in the conservative movement. I mean, you have John McCain, but he's obviously almost dead. You may have never even heard of Bill Kristol.
For Archiboob, here is the short answer of what capital C Conservatism is from roughly the time of Goldwater to now:
It's important to remember that the Conservatives of today are the "classical liberals" of yesteryear, rather than the "classical conservatives."
firstly allow me to posit the following: goddamnit fucking cheney fucking bush we're STILL in the sandbox i sure hope that halliburton made out alright o wait im sure they did plenty fine
secondly, i wouldn't call Reagan a neocon, either- thats more of a 21st century thing. u rite. and i don't know shit-all about that Buckley character, but i'm sure that i wouldn't like most of what he did
third, you rite again about "neocon" being a loaded term, but i'd be a poor arm-chair pundit indeed if i didn't know who the fuck Bill Kristol is. he's loud as fuck! any sort of political identifier, so to speak, is gonna be loaded as hell these days- you've got large swathes of the population that consider "republican", "democrat", "conservative", or "liberal" not to be differing political ideologies, but the source of all societal ills and above all else, the
enemyit is still a term i like to use because of how it sounds in the phrase "neocon fucking shits", much like "vietnam fucking shits", and of course i'm sure that you know the facet i focus most on to classify someone as a fukken neocon is advocacy or practical involvement in military action without a congressional declaration of war; often extraordinarily fond of reminding all that will listen that "America must exhibit LEADERSHIP in the world", "America must defend liberty" etc
im just a right-wing libertarian that has grown tired of helicopter memes TBH, been listening to a lot of Hoppe talks lately- need to start reading works that have to do with polemics or politics rather than classic sci-fi, but goddamnit i just found robert heinlein's collected works in .txt and .lit forms on the 8th page of google search in a completely unformatted plain directory
stranger in a strange land is lovely, really reminds me of Moon is a Harsh Mistress in the way that he is stellar at creating an innocent+powerful, often non-human character. fucking kawaii
until next time
PS also appreciate the use of "movement conservatives", never really heard that term before. that describes the current zeitgest of Trump folk pretty well- after all how could I forget the hundreds of Trump rallies in which he reminded us gracefully that they are, indeed, a MOVEMENT. reckon that Perot's clusterfuck of a bid could have been described as the same. i'll have to think about this a little.
