neo-neoism
I thought I was done with this. But I keep hitting upon more and more items contemporarious regarding LaRouche. None of them really answer what is an unanswerable question, which is quite simply a “Huh?”, but they do answer peripheal questions. Example: So, um… LaRouche moved from the “far Left” to the “far Right” — through what bit of mental gymnastic trickery? From a National Review expose on the “US Labor Party” from March 30, 1979 (oddly enough, combine that with a Nation article in 1980 and you have a pretty darned good look at this transformation), an internal strategium memo from 1975, the rise of the anti-Rockefellar … um… Whig (???) Coalition.
Our success in beating back the Fang’s Endgame Scenario shows the otential impact we can have among previously unpenetrated strata. Operations reports from our organizers in the field indicate growing sympathy for our “Impeach Rocky” campaign among right-wing circles. We must move to take advantage of this situation.Right-wing organizations offer fouropportunities: 1) sources for fund-raising (espcially rleated to our organizing); 2) political contats to circulate our perspective in anti-Rocky political financial military circles; 3) opportunity to expose and discredit Rocky’s Buckley – FBI – CIA penetration of the Right; 4) potential USLP members and periphery.
Cadres should be firmly fixed on the politics underlying this move: the real enemy is Rocky’s fascism with a democratic face, the liberals, and social fascists. We can cooperate with the Right to defeat this common enemy. Once we have won this battle, eliminating our right-wing opposition will be comparatively easy.
This project will be given top priority. No one can be permitted to block on it. Locals and regions with existing right-wing contacts should TWX names to Security Staff as soon as possible, unless threat of harassment is too great. Scott will coordinate this operation.
I suppose LaRouche was thinking he would “defeat the right wing comparatively easily” in a similar manner that he “consolidated left-wing hegemony” through “an” “Operation Mop – Up”. It remains difficult to figure what has gone on in that man’s head, but eventually LaRouche would have to zig and zig across with more mainstream electoral politics.
The Nation and the National Review are both Rockefellar mags, anyways.
Okay. I have to stop this insanity. I’ve noticed a few LaRouche publications lying around in the manner that they usually are, which means… the LaRouchites are somewhere in the shadows somewhere around here.
