enjoyed this ep of @KnowYrEnemyPod w @AriBrostoff abt David Horowitz's memoir Radical Son, a journey from New Left to reactionary right a generation after neocons' similar left-to-right conversion
are there many US cases of *right-to-left* conversions?https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/red-diaper-baby-w-ari-brostoff/id1462703434?i=1000555745462 …

based on responses so far, I should clarify: I’m curious about US cases of far right-to-far left conversion, not shifts from mainstream conservatism to mainstream liberalism (which I don’t consider “left”) that are all too common and not very remarkable

Replying to @terry_renaud
The poet Basil Bunting is perhaps the clearest example. Was a kind of Ezra Pound rightist (and worked for MI-5) but in last years supported miner's strike.
