The thing is, I wouldn't call them neo-con... that would presuppose they currently support the west's foreign policy and thus its military actions, let alone neolib...

In February 2017, to mark “the third anniversary of the Soros-Obama backed-Nazi coup in Ukraine,” LaRouche PAC called for a nation-wide Day of Action “to stop the live operation to launch a similar Nazi ‘color revolution’ against the Trump administration in the U.S. today.” They went with the slogan, “Jail Obama and Soros for Treason,” and the EIR published a special report — “Nazis in Ukraine, 2014; USA, 2017?” — with “Jail Obama!”

Paleo-con, maybe, is more accurate?

Just to say tho, they are unsalvageable, they have too much reactionary and reformist western brainworms to do so...
