Not at all. A neocon is someone who agrees politically with conservative ideas including free market capitalism. Moderate conservatives tend to clash with neocons on issues of foreign policy.

Faith in the free market is one important belief of neocons, but even more important is their support of interventionism. In other words, neocons support actively promoting democracy around the world, even if that means using military force. Neocon is short for neoconservative, which adds the neo-, or "new," prefix to conservative. The original neocons abandoned their formerly leftist ideals in the late 1960s and early 1970s. https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/neocon

Those are lies. So-called neocons are “former” liberals who lie about believing in free markets. All of their actions help communist countries and destroy free markets. We’ve witnessed iver a half century of this in action.

Opus?

Reagan is a neocon by your definition.
