Not communists, but Trotskyites. Trotsky believed in a continual, rolling evangelical war spreading communism from one vulnerable country to the next, continuosly. The neocons aren't commuists, but believe in the same concept for spreading democractic ideology by the barrel of a gun. Unfortunately for them, they've been quagmired in Iraq. It seems to me calling the neocons communists always confuses the issue. Necons are not communists or even Trotskyites by a long shot, and I am not sure they are really committed to the democratic principles they claim to be spreading. They are a kind of ideologue that could only come from an American setting. First, the US is a democracy; Russia was an oppressive aristocracy when the communists/trotskyites came to power. The communists were anti church; Christian evangelicals make up an important support of this group. They are very much focused on morality issues; the communists were more concerned with spreading the economic wealth more evenly among all the people. The only similarity that I see between the two is that neither has been very loyal to the belief systems that caused their origin in the first place. ted
