Note: A neo-conservative (abbreviated as neo-con or neocon) is part of a U.S. based ideological political movement rooted in liberal Cold War anticommunism and a backlash against the social liberation movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Many follow the philosophic instruction of Leo Strauss, including his conviction in the necessity for governmental Machiavellian fraudulence, manipulation and mass deception.

They favor an aggressive unilateral U.S. foreign policy and generally believe that elites must protect democracy from the masses. One of their most noteworthy organizations is the neocon think tank called the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
