When some of the millennial left goes right will they be called neoneocons?

I guess it depends if they follow their predecessors' footsteps and move right first on foreign policy and then on the domestic front or if the march rightward starts at home

The current batch that are moving right are mainly doing so on domestic cultural politics, not foreign policy.

yeah, a lot of them are kind of like Daniel Bell if he was pure evil. The thing with the original neo-cons is that only the Podhoretzians were foreign policy hawks. Glazer, Bell and even Kristol weren't.

Though my sense is before the critiques of the welfare state in late 1960s/early 1970s a lot of the rest of the neocons were de-radicalized by desire--somewhat prompted by a residual Trotskyism and Menshevikism--to see the United States remain tough on communism abroad

yeah, that's right, the original hawkish turn was 1945-1950. The later stuff was a return but even so Nathan Glazer and Irving Kristol wanted USA to give up first use of nukes, shrink or end NATO etc. They weren't standard hawks.
