I was talking to some LaRouche guys

They were protesting Obama on the side of the road. They had the whole hitler moustache thing going and all these right wingers were honking their horns. I said I disagreed that obama was hitler so they labeled me brainwashed by the media. Their crazy

Did they tell you about British imperialism and how it controls the world? LaRouchites are insane fascist types.

A couple years ago, when the crisis was just sort of looming rather than in full blast, I was at the post office in a town in southern NJ on a Wednesday afternoon. There was a guy with a table outside the post office, who was obviously no more a construction worker than me (and I'm a software developer), wearing a hard hat and selling LaRouchite literature outside. Crazy, crazy people.

Crazy motherfuckers they are.

they claim the green/enviromentalist movement is fascist.
they habe obama/hitler posters
they have a shit line

politically i feel they are kind of schizophrenic. i wont call them fascists though only because they have no power, and are too much of a joke to become politically powerful. maybe im writing them off quickly, but seriously. i dont think they have anything in common with any major political camp in the US.

They didn't talk about British imperialism. I feel cheated:(

LaRouche was in the Socialist Workers Party (the US one) for about 15 years - he left during the controversy over Cuba in the 1960s, and was close to the Spartacists for a while. He had been infamous in the SWP for writing long-winded, mostly incomprehensible stuff for the pre-convention discussions. After he left the Sparts he started a group called the "National Caucus of Labor Committees" that turned ultra-chauvinist against the feminist movement and then tried to physically assault the organized left in a plan called "Operation Mop-up." LaRouche has since then zig-zagged around classical philosophy and conspiracy mongering, but his actual ideology is something not far removed from fascism, including the hooliganism usually associated with it, albeit at a very small scale right now.
