One guy (former neo-con Michael Lind) described neoconservatism as “Marxism with entrepreneurs substituted for proletarians as the heroic subjects of history.”
Can't vouch for the attribution, but it's an interesting thought, nonetheless.

That's a good summation of Ayn Rand's philosophy as well. It's essentially inverted Marxism with wealthy 'producers' as the historically determinate class.
Rand was an embittered White Russian émigré with a boner for Herbert Spencer. It seems possible to reconstruct her entire line of reasoning from those facts alone.
