Max Eastman was a Greenwich Village based socialist intellectual who recognized the evils of the Soviet Revolution before many of his fellow socialists, and gradually became what could generally be referred to as a conservative, though I don't know if he ever embraced that label.
His conservatism was probably closer to libertarianism as he was an advocate of sexual freedom at the expense of monogamy, and he opposed the early versions of what is now known as the "religious right."
