The history of neoconservatism
Neoconservatism is the ideology of US conservatives who advocate using the country's military and economic superiority to subjugate and establish democracy in countries with hostile regimes.
The direction of neoconservatism appeared in the 1970s of the 20th century. The emergence of this ideology is associated with the discontent of the democrats, who are against the war in Vietnam and are skeptical about social programs. In general, neoconservatism supported the theory of the free market, but less expressed dissatisfaction with government interference in society than conservatism. For example, neoconservatives opposed tax increases.
In the years 60-70, representatives of this ideology remained on many positions in left-wing positions, but in relation to foreign policy they often held right-wing views. The first neoconservatives were small groups consisting predominantly of liberals. In the 1980s, most of the representatives of this ideology turned out to be members of the Republican Party, which supported Reagan in continuing a stiff confrontation with the USSR.
