It was a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Intellectuals

Some, including Kristol, Hook, and Podhoretz, later became key figures in the development of Neoconservatism.

There is also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Burnham, who could likely have been a better face for this meme as it loosely describes his positions (other than the last one).

Jim Cramer was also a trot lmao

What about Cosmo Kramer

[-] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

He became a neocon because he put all his shares in Yugoslavia and lost them in the 90s.

Oh it's very real, arch neo-cons like Irving Cristal started off as Trots
