Neoconservatism 1.0 was all most invading the Middle East as well as creating "flourishing democracies" similar this one:
It also involved a fair total of dabbling inward Colour Revolutions, mainly at the expense of Russia's much-reduced post-Soviet sphere of influence. You may yell back some of them:
Sorry, that is a nonetheless from a zombie movie. I meant this one:
But that's old hat.
Neoconservatism, similar anything else, needs to constantly update itself inward social club to survive. Here is a microscopic painting of a Superbug that "updated" itself to survive.

For anybody who is currently studying microbiology, this ane is Gonorrhoea. So, how is Neoconservatism going to evolve to brand its abode inward the novel age?
Some clues were divulged inward a recent interview given yesteryear Trump's onetime right-hand human being as well as straight off media "wing man," Steven Bannon inward Bloomberg Businessweek’s Oct 2017 edition.
Apparently Neocon 2.0 volition live all most the "pivot to Asia" as well as dealing alongside what Bannon sees equally the threat to the US of America global empire posed yesteryear China. I hateful await how unopen they position their borders to our military machine bases (again):
Apparently Bannon has been consulting "geopolitical genius" Henry Kissinger, who ironically helped railroad train Cathay on the path to greatness yesteryear preparing the groundwork for the "Chimerica" human relationship that saw Cathay grow into the World's leading industrial nation.

So, what has Bannon been learning at the feet of "The Master"?
“If nosotros don’t acquire our province of affairs sorted alongside China, we’ll live destroyed economically,” Bannon says inward the interview. “The forced technology scientific discipline transfer of American excogitation to Cathay is the unmarried biggest economical as well as trace of piece of job organisation effect of our time. Until nosotros form that out, they volition drib dead on to appropriate our excogitation to their ain organisation as well as leave of absence us equally a colony—our Jamestown to their Great Britain, a tributary state.”
In this cracking Neocon re-awakening, Bannon sees his part inward price of the revival of the Committee on the Present Danger. This was a Cold War-era lobbying grouping that was revived inward 1976 as well as used to force for a to a greater extent than hawkish approach to the Soviet Union inward the Carter as well as Reagan years, against the prevailing mood of détente.
Speaking most the Committee's key part inward the 70s as well as 80s, Bannon says:
“They understood that you lot couldn’t create it from inside. You had to acquire exterior and, similar a burn bell inward the night, wake upward the American people.”
People inward the Trump direction similar Goldman Sachs "old boys" Steven Mnuchin (Treasury Secretary) as well as Gary Cohn (Trump’s transcend economical adviser) desire to acquire slowly on Cathay because of fears of a merchandise war. Also, Trump is relying on Chinese cooperation to bargain alongside North Korea's novel nuclear arsenal.
Bannon sees his part equally looking beyond those lesser concerns to the bigger painting of growing Chinese influence inward the World.
“We are inward advance discussions most having Breitbart sponsor a major safety conference inward sub-Saharan Africa, the Farsi Gulf, fundamental Europe, as well as East Asia, inward early on to mid-2018,” he says.
These conferences would live aimed at countering Chinese influence inward these regions.
As alongside Neoconservatism 1.0 at that spot are some plausible half-truths inward the novel Neoconservative vision. But, having seen how the start version worked out, we'll receive got to accept a pelting depository fiscal establishment gibe on this Bannon-led revamp of Neoconservatism 2.0. After all, what Shakespeare in ane lawsuit said most England applies fifty-fifty ameliorate to the USA:
