There's a particularly chilling Doctor Who episode where aliens took over the world a year ago, but have been telling everyone that it has been that way forever, and punishing those that publicly deny it. 99.9% of people simply go on repeating it and accepting it and just going about their days as normally as possible, despite everyone knowing it isn't really true.
My best interpretation is that they see global hegemony as the solution to conflict by globalizing commerce and industry. Thus, they need a powerful state to wage such hegemony. I mean, GWB is the canonical elected neocon, and look at his not-so-small-gubmint DOHS or the TSA. Or conservatives general obsession with strong military and foreign encroachments. This put the neocons at odds with the libertarians regarding "foreign entanglements" -- instead of entanglement, neocons see hegemony.

@bloubz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie basically the origins of the term is from those who supported Stalinist military incursions into Czechoslovakia and Hungary to oppose anti-Soviet-government agitation.
So basically tankie == authoritarian marxist-leninist. The red-brown alliance kind of folks.
