If the man who fed on the red menace fever of the fifties were alive today, he'd be going after an incredible number of the men who are running our country and advising President Bush on policy.
From the right and left, the neoconservatives who are in control of the pentagon and the White House-- who describe themselves as a cabal, and who have been described as executing a Coup d'etat-- are described as "Post Marxist Trostkyites."

"I refuse to call them "neo-conservatives" for the simple reason that there is nothing conservative about them; the neo-cons are really post-Marxist Trotskyites"
One a rticle, by Canadian Michael Taub, describes right wing "neoconservative culture critic" David Horowitz as an "ex-Marxist."
Some articles like this one by Paul Gottfried describe the Neocons as being anti modern communism "opposing the Communists for betraying the revolutionary vision." Gottfried, professor of history at Elizabethtown College, says, "Today
