In the US, we call them Neoconservatives. They popped up with the New Left, and they have quite the history.
During WWII, especially in NYC, there was a group of academics that supported Trotsky, and hated Stalin. Dewey was one such individual at Columbia U. The graduates were known as the New York Intellectuals.
These "intellectuals" were in the D Party at the time, and didn't like the fact that FDR was siding with Stalin, where they claimed Stalin was a nationalist, so, they left their party for the GOP. That's the real history behind them, and why the GOP started a new progressive purge in 2016.
