The Fraud of Neoconservative "Anti-Communism"by Max Shpak

Neoconservatives and their apoloists !ould have the public believethat the neocons !ere former eftists !ho sa! the liht and came tore#ect liberal or Marxist ideoloy as a matter of conviction andprinciple$ %erettably& this official line has come to be conventional!isdom& no doubt reflectin neocon efforts to hide the fact that their transformation !as neither sincerely motivated nor sincerely enacted$To understand the real aenda that drove and continues to drive muchof neoconservatism& one needs to look back to the oriins of themovement and the cultural backrounds of those !ho lead it$

't is a !ell-established fact that many of the early luminaries of

neoconservatism (most famously 'rvin )ristol in the *+,.s& a morerecent famous example bein /avid 0oro!it12 came from Marxistbackrounds& and that neoconservatism (like Marxism itself2 bean andcontinues to be a larely a phenomenon of 3e!ish intellectualism$ 'nthe early part of the 4th century& Marxism attracted adisproportionate pool of 3e!ish recruits for a number of obviousreasons$ There are a number of complex psycholoical and socialreasons for the attraction& all of !hich larely stem from the factthat Marxist internationalism is an ideoloy !hich by its very nature

finds disciples amon a rootless& anti-reliious urban intellientsia$

More important for the purposes of this analysis& ho!ever& are thepractical reasons for 3e!ish sympathy !ith 5olshevism$ 6uropean and

American 3e!s alike carried deep-seated hatreds for the traditionalreimes and reliions of the 6uropean continent& particularly C1arist%ussia and various 6astern 6uropean nations due to (real and imained2"persecution" and "poroms" that occurred there$ Thus& !hen the5olsheviks overthre! the C1ar& destroyed the hated 7rthodox Church&rendered po!erless the landed reliious peasantry& and replaced

traditional %ussian authority !ith a larely 3e!ish Commissariate&!orld 3e!ry (includin alleed "capitalists" like the Schiffs and%othschilds2 embraced the %evolution and Marxist ideoloy alike$

8ith %ussia becomin an effective 3e!ish colony !here "anti-Semitism"!as an offense punishable by death and the native entile culture !aseffectively stamped out (thanks to a leadership consistin mainly of



3e!s such as Trotsky& 9inoviev& )amenev& and Severdlov& held toether under the ste!ardship of the obse:uious philosemite enin2& 3e!sthrouhout the !orld put their hopes in the possibility of similar revolutions else!here$ 'ndeed& their comrades in arms !ere hard at!ork affectin similar chanes in 0unary ()uhn2& Austria (Adler2 and;ermany (6isner2$ The rise of Fascist and Na1i movements only servedto further polari1e 3e!ish support in favor of internationalcommunism$

This near unanimity !ould chane as a result of t!o developments< ashift in the character of Soviet Communism on the one hand and thefoundation of the State of 'srael on the other$ Stalin.s pures of many of his former 5olshevik colleaues (includin Trotsky& !ho !asassassinated !hile in exile2& his *+=+ pact !ith 0itler& and rumors of

Stalin.s o!n anti-3e!ish pre#udices ave many !ould-be supporterspause$ 8hen 0itler invaded the Soviet >nion& it became clear the%ussian masses !ould not fiht for the sake of 5olshevism& an ideoloythat brouht them so much misery& but rather for the sake of %ussianblood and soil$ From then on& the Soviet leadership had to court thevery %ussian nationalist elements that the early 5olsheviks had !orkedso hard to stamp out$ This lead to an increasin tolerance to!ards the%ussian 7rthodox Church and a decreased 3e!ish presence in the Sovietpolitburo and );5$ Thus& the >SS% !as "betrayin" the very elementsthat made it attractive to the 3e!ish establishment to bein !ith$

?erhaps even more sinificant a factor in the oriins of neoconservatism !as the emerence of an independent 'sraeli state$8hile many 3e!ish Marxists eaerly supported the 9ionist state& themore intellectually consistent eft opposed 9ionism on the roundsthat all nationalisms& includin 3e!ish ones& are enemies of lobalproletarian revolution$ Thus& 3e!ish leftists !ho once advocatedinternationalism for entile nations !ere forced to come to terms !iththe implications of this ideoloy for their o!n nationalist

sentiments$ Thus& they needed an ideoloy !hich !ould let them havetheir cake (opposin entile nationalism2 and eat it too (bysupportin 'srael2& and they found #ust such a !orldvie! !ithneoconservatism$

At the same time& althouh the Soviet >nion initially courted 'sraeldurin the *+,@ !ars of independence& it became clear to the 'sraeli



overnment that in !orld polari1ed bet!een the >nited States and theSoviet >nion the former !ould be !ealthier and more pliant cash co! tomilk$ 5y the *+.s and the comin of the Sue1 8ars& reardless of residual 3e!ish loyalties to Communism& the battle lines !ere alreadydra!n& !ith 'srael in the >SB8estern camp and the Arab nations forcedto make alliances of convenience !ith the Soviet >nion$

't is hardly a coincidence that the chanin character of SovietCommunism and the status of 'srael as a >S ally came at the same timethat neoconservatism !as becomin an influential political movement$For all of their talk about "capitalism&" "democracy&" "freedom&" and"free markets&" the fact that so many 3e!ish leftists turned on a dimeto back the >S in the Cold 8ar because America could serve as a lifesupport system for 'srael and a bul!ark aainst resurent %ussian

"anti-Semitism" makes their real aenda entirely transparent$ 7ne can!itness an identical phenomenon takin place today& as many 3e!ishliberal /emocrats s!itch party ranks and #oin the ;7? because of thelatter.s stroner support for 'srael and harder line !ith the Arabnations$ All of the !indo! dressin about their ne!found "patriotism"and "Americanism" is a sham desined to mask the fact that the:uestion for the neocons has al!ays been and !ill al!ays be "is itood for the 3e!s"

The different aendas drivin neocon Cold 8arriors as opposed to their erst!hile 7ld %iht allies could be seen on any number of fronts$ Themost obvious one has been the different reactions in the t!o camps to%ussia after the end of the Cold 8ar$ 8hile paleoconservative leaninCold 8arriors such as ?at 5uchanan have pushed for normali1edrelations !ith %ussia& the neocons continue to fiht on the Cold 8ar&enthusiastically supportin Chechen separatists as "freedom fihters"and advocatin NAT7 expansion$ The reasons for this difference areentirely obvious< the 7ld %iht.s enemy !as Communist ideoloy& !hileneoconservative 3e!s nurtured a hatred for %ussian nationalism$ Thus

post-Communist %ussia is still very much a threat to the latter&particularly !ith resurent %ussian "ultra-nationalism" and"anti-Semitism&" !hile in the absence of Communist rule the above areof little concern to the 7ld %iht$

For all their talk about "anti-Communism&" the real enine drivinneocon Cold 8arrior instincts !as punishin the hated %ussian oyim



for the sin of "anti-Semitism&" not any opposition to residual or latent Marxism$ As further evidence that this is the case& one needonly consider the fact that !hile the 7ld %iht championed Christiandissidents such as Sol1henitsyn& to the neocons the only leimate"dissidents" !ere 9ionists like Natan Sharansky& #ust as the only"refuees" championed by the neos !ere invariably 3e!ish (includintoday.s shady 7dessa Mafiosi2$ Sol1henitsyn represented the %ussiannationalism and 7rthodox Church that made so many of the neocons.predecessors embrace 5olshevism& thus Sol1henitsyn and the pliht of Christian dissidents !ere releated to obscurity in neoconpublications& !hile 9ionist noise-makers in the >SS% !ere iven ahero.s !elcome$

'n this reard& the neocons are the true heirs to eon Trotsky& !ho

condemned Stalin and his follo!ers not so much for their brutality (ascommander of the %ed Army and overseer of enin.s terrorist C06)A&Trotsky !as no straner to brutality and sadism2 but for their "anti-Semitism" and "betrayal of the %evolution$" Trotsky.s maincriti:ue of Stalinism seemed to be that Stalin !as movin %ussia in anationalist direction rather than !orkin to!ards the establishment of an international "proletarian" vanuard$ The fact that theintellectual ancestors of neoconservatism had not an unkind !ord tosay about 5olshevism !hile eninist-Trotskyite oals !ere beinfulfilled suests that it !as not so much ideoloical reconsiderationas tribal self-interest that drove these most unlikely conversos$

5ecause their move from the eft to a pseudo-riht !as insincere& one!ould expect to find a !hole rane of issues !here the neocons retainleftist instincts and remain true to their Trotskyite heritae$ 'ndeedthis is the case$ 'n their portrayal of the Cold 8ar as a strulebet!een "capitalism" on the one hand and "socialism" on the other& theneocons try to minimi1e the fact that in many !ays the conflictbet!een the 5olsheviks and the 8est !as over much more than economic

systems$ To most on the 7ld %iht& the economic issues !ere at bestperipheral< Marxism !as opposed because it !as materialistic&atheistic& and because it re#ected nationalism and patriotism in thename of lobal revolution$

Most neocons came from a culture that !as every bit as materialisticand cosmopolitan as the early 5olshevik leaders& so it is rather



unlikely that they !ould have any :uarrel !ith these aspects of Communist doctrine$ The fact that neoconservatism is an ideoloy !hichis materialistic in nature and internationalist in focus (!ith itstalk of "lobal democracy" and "lobal markets"2 makes it obvious thatthe fundamental underpinnins of the Marxist eft are alive and !ellamon the scribblers of Commentary and The 8eekly Standard$ Their "conservative" pretenses seem limited to the fact that they oppose"socialism" (of the nationalist variety2 in the name of "capitalism"(of the internationalist variety2& and for all too many naD6Fve peoplethat seems to be sufficient and believable$

>nderstandin the true nature of the neoconservatives illuminates theessence of the strule bet!een the %iht and the eft$ 't !as never astrule bet!een "capitalism" and "socialism" as neoconservative or

Communist proaanda !ould have one believe$ %ather& it !as al!ays aconflict bet!een spiritualism and materialism& bet!een nationalism andlobalism& bet!een tradition and subversion& bet!een the defenders of 8estern Civili1ation and its enemies$ 8ith the battle lines dra!n assuch& it is abundantly clear !here the neocons stand$ Many"capitalists" understood that economic means are not sinificant& onlythe desired end$ 3acob Schiff understood it !hen he financed the5olsheviks& #ust as %upert Murdoch& Ted Turner& Marc %ich& 5oris5ere1ovsky& and ;eore Soros understand that their form of "capitalism" is fully compatible !ith the essence of the eft& andthat they can find friends and allies amon the ostensiblyconservative neocons$

>nfortunately& many %ihtists are not nearly as perceptive in their choice of allies$

Those Cuckoo Neoconsby Max Shpak

http://originaldissent.com/






As every schoolboy should kno!& cuckoos and co!birds have aninterestin reproductive stratey that involves nest parasitism$ Thefemale cuckoo lays an e in the nest of another species of bird(after first discardin an e from the host.s clutch2$ >pon hatchin&the baby cuckoo oes on to expel the remainin competitor es andhatchlins of the host& at !hich point it becomes the sole focus of the host parent.s attention$ No doubt every child is bound to ask !hythe host parents don.t expel the alien e before the troubles bein&or at the very least abandon the parasitic baby cuckoo once it hasro!n to a si1e far larer than host parents themselves$

The problem& of course& is that birds lack the thinkin skillsnecessary to reconi1e the parasite$ They imprint on the siht of es& on the siht of a baby bird.s apin beak and cries& and follo!

a simple alorithm of "care for eBhatchlin in nest" iven thesecues$ 't doesn.t demand very much of a mas:uerade on the part of thecuckoo to exploit the host.s instincts$ All that is necessary is theinitial imprintin by the parent host on the baby parasite.s sinals$

7ne cannot help but be struck by the remarkable parallels bet!een theevolutionary stratey of the cuckoo and the infiltration of theconservative movement durin the Cold 8ar by the neo-conservatives or "neocons$" 3ust as the parasitic cuckoo or co!bird insinuates itself into the nest of an un!ittin host& eventually drivin out therihtful brood& so did the neocons come to move into& and eventuallydominate to the point of exclusion& !hat passes today for "conservatism" and "the riht$"

3ust as an outside observer is struck by the inconruous siht of atiny !ren feedin a comparatively enormous fledlin cuckoo& so is animpartial critic struck by #ust ho! out of place the neocons are inthe conservative movement& and ho! hollo! rin their pretenses of belonin to the riht !in of the political spectrum$ Consider #ust a

fe! examples<

8here the authentic %iht favored immiration restrictions as a meansof preservin the ethno-state and America.s cultural and linuisticidentity& the neocons are vociferous supporters of open-bordersimmiration& !elcomin countless alien& often hostile Third 8orldersto America.s shores !hile condemnin as "xenophobes" and "racists" all



!ho dare challene them$ 8hile conservatives !ere skeptical at bestand hostile at !orst to the "Civil %ihts" aenda& the "Martin uther )in eacy" is as sacred to the neos as to any liberal$

Similarly& !hile %ihtists consider the national interest to be themetric for decidin the !isdom of forein policy measures& neocons !axrhapsodic over the "'nternational Community" and push much of the samelobalist forein policy as their counterparts on the eft such asStrobe Talbott or ;eore Soros$ Theirs is also a "Ne! 8orld 7rder"!here the nation-state (particularly the ethno-state& at least for entile nations2 is a thin of the past$ The only difference bet!eenthe manaerial lobalism of the neos and that of the eft is that inthe !orldvie! of the former& 'nternational Finance and transnationalcorporations lead the chare rather than the state and international

bureaucracies favored by the liberals$ 't.s :uite instructive to notethat #ust as "xenophobe" is a dirty !ord in the neoconservative (andliberal2 lexicon& so is "isolationist" !ith reards to forein policy$

And on social& cultural& and reliious issues& so central to thetraditionalist %iht& neos either pay hollo! lip service to the%ihtist stance& or else inore the issue& or in most cases ask for "moderation&" their bu11!ord for appeasin and curryin favor !ith theeft$

'n their instincts and sensibilities& the neocons share much more incommon !ith the iberal eft than !ith the %iht& particularly !iththe liberals of yesteryear$ 'n matters of forein policy and trade&they are disciples of F/% and 8oodro! 8ilson& !hile in their embraceof "Civil %ihts" they are disciples of the 3ohnsonite ";reatSociety$" That yesterday.s eft has become today.s %iht is testamentto #ust ho! far our political spectrum has one adrift in #ust a fe!decades$

So then& !hy is it that a political movement that shares so much !ith

the eft been so eaerly !elcomed into the ranks of establishment"conservatism" The reasons are exactly the same as those for a !renacceptin the baby cuckoo$ %ather than seein the bi picture& thehost in both cases imprints on a small number of favorable cues andoes on its business& acceptin the interloper as one of its o!n$Neocons !ere oriinally !elcomed not because their !orldvie! !as atall in sync !ith that of the authentic %iht& but rather because they



spouted a fe! conservative-soundin bu11!ords that appealed toknee-#erk establishment conservatives$

Conservatism !as anti-communist& so the militant anti-Sovietism of theneoconservatives !on them many friends on the anti-Communist %iht$8hat these hood!inked %ihtists failed to note !as that the neocons!ere not in the least motivated by hostility to!ards Marxist ideoloy&in fact& many of them came from Marxist (particularly Trotskyite2backrounds themselves$ They certainly had no :uarrel !ith thecosmopolitan& internationalist& and material underpinnins of Marxistideoloy& only !ith !ho !as runnin the sho!$ For all intents andpurposes& the neocons opposed the Soviet >nion on the rounds that theSoviet reime !as "anti-Semitic" and because the >SS% had Arab clients!hich threatened 'srael$ 0ad eon Trotsky rather than 3oseph Stalin

been enin.s heir& not one of these born-aain Cold 8arriors !ould beyappin about their "anti-Communism$" The neos further exploitedknee-#erk anti-Communism by pushin the fallacy that any enemy of the(Soviet2 enemy must be the friend of the %iht$ As the Cold 8ar essentially evolved into a conflict bet!een t!o lobalist forces<international 5olshevism and international finance& the neocons !orkedto make the establishment %iht sycophantic defenders of corporate andfinancial sector interests& often to the detriment of broader socialand national interests$ Thanks to the mindless orientation by areverse moral compass (i$e$& the thinkin !as "corporations andfinance are anti-communist& therefore they are the unconditionalfriends of the %iht"2& today "conservatism" is e:uated !ith makinthe !orld safe for the Michael Milkens and %upert Murdochs of the!orld$

Eet another stratey used by the neoconservative cuckoo to pull the!ool over the eyes of its conservative host is rallyin around thefla$ Conservatism is "patriotic" and "pro-American" after all& thus&by suar-coatin their lobalist ambitions !ith talk of "National

;reatness&" the neocons manaed to sell their ideoloy to many on the%iht as bein nothin short of authentic Americanism$ 8hat thehood!inked %iht failed to note& of course& is that much of themilitant interventionism on the part of the neos !as motivated by theattitude that an activist >S military can insure 'srael.s security&and that the only !ay to #ustify endless Middle 6ast interventionaainst 'srael.s enemies is to adopt a policy !hereby intervention all



around the lobe becomes a matter of course (!ith the hope thatintervention in the !ars that matter for the neos& i$e$ in the Middle6ast& !on.t stand out and betray their real aenda2$

0ence& !ith their faade of patriotic and anti-Communist bu11!ords&the neos !ere able to convince terribly myopic members of the %ihtthat they !ere kindred spirits$ >nable to see beyond the apin beakspoutin these appealin bu11!ords& the establishment %iht !ent onfeedin the parasite$ 'n the meantime& the parasite had ro!n and hadbeun to pure the nest of its leitimate heirs$ First-rate minds of the 7ld %iht such as Melvin 5radford !ere passed up to make room for the neocon-approved 8illiam 5ennett& and 7ld %iht polemicists such asSamuel Francis and 3oseph Sobran !ere dropped from publications toappease and make room for neocons and neocon sympathi1ers such as

Chave1& ?odhoret1& and ;oldber$ Most notable of all& !hen thetraditional %ihtist ?residential candidate ?at 5uchanan ran for the%epublican nomination in *++4 and *++G& the lanuae used by theneoconservative press to villify him as a "Na1i" !as virtuallyidentical to that of 5uchanan.s eftist enemies$

That a !ren lacks the intellience to see past the chatter and apinbeak of a parasitic cuckoo and imprints on the parasite as its o!noffsprin is understandable& !e don.t expect much from bird brains&after all$ 7n the other hand& that ostensibly intellient& educated&and politically sophisticated men of the %iht couldn.t see beyondconservative-soundin bu11!ords and take note of ho! far removed theoals of the neocons !ere from the oals of the %iht is testamenteither to profound stupidity or opportunism combined !ith intellectualdishonesty$ >nfortunately& in the case of all too many prominentpoliticians& #ournal editors& and activists& ' stronly suspect thatthe latter is the case$

The only :uestion that remains is !hat can or should be done about the

infiltration of these political cuckoos$ After all& too lare apopulation of parasites inevitably destroy the host (imaine ascenario !hereby every !ren nest !ere infected !ith an interlopincuckoo2& and in doin so& they threaten their o!n survival as !ell$?erhaps that can ive us all some rim hope& in that once the neoconshave thorouhly pured the establishment %iht of its traditionalistvoices& the neoconservative movement !ill itself self-destruct&
