I found many neocons were Trotskyite in their youth.And neocons have passion in interventionist policy as Trotskyite in the world revolution.

Some names would help here... I know Reagan was famously left-leaning in his younger years, as was Jeb Bush, but other than that I can't think of any ex-Trot neocons.

Tony Blair is another one. Honourable mention to Piers Corbyn (Jeremy Corbyn’s brother) who is Trot and climate denier.

Irving Kristol,the father of neocon,he was a Trotskyite in his youth.
