Neoconservatism

Neoconservatism is a political ideology. As the name suggests, it is a modern ideology based on generally conservative principles but with several important philosophical differences.

In the western world, especially the United States, Canada, and Great Britain, neo-conservatism is a synthesis of trotskyite socialism with a belief in supply side economics[?]. No nations have a neoconservative party, in Canada and the United States neoconservatism is, often uncomfortably, in the same party as more traditional paleoconservatives[?]. In Britain neoconservatism is still much more intangible with accusations of Tony Blair's New Labour being neoconservative, and the Tory party also trying to adopt some of its ideologies.

Some common neoconservative policies:

• Free trade (taken from traditional liberalism)
• Decriminilization of drugs (from libertarianism)
• Primacy of economics (from socialism)
• Interventionist foreign policy (from socialism)
• Supply side economics (from conservatism)

Neoconservative beliefs vary from country to country.
