Exactly: neoconservatism sprouted from disillusionment wrought by experience with the Old and the New Left. A growth experience, and a salubrious one too. These are less "origins in totalitarianism" than the complete rejection of it.

How would the rejection of the New Left and its works come out badly? Through not being leftist any more? Isn't that an unduly strained definition of "bad?" Sounds more to me like finally making it to adulthood. "If you're not a socialist at twenty, you have no heart; if you're still a socialist at forty, no brains."
