The LaRouchite Secret Elite Synthesis

by Chip Berlet and Matthew N. Lyons
(From Right-Wing Populism in America: Too Close for Comfort)

The Lyndon LaRouche network, an offshoot of the radical student movement that metamorphosed into a fascist organization in the early 1970s, developed an idiosyncratic doctrine and approach quite different from other far-right groups.

Though often dismissed as a bizarre political cult, the LaRouche organization and its various front groups are a fascist movement whose pronouncements echo elements of Nazi ideology.

They advocated a dictatorship in which a “humanist” elite would rule on behalf of industrial capitalists.

The memo suggested that older LaRouche members who couldn't adapt might as well just kill themsleves. Ken Kronberg committed suicide a few hours later.

Lyndon LaRouche: Fascism Wrapped in an American Flag
	by Chip Berlet and Joel Bellman A Political Research Associates Briefing Paper Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. is frequently dismissed as a crank or political extremist with no further explanation of his views or the phenomenon he represents. In a democracy based on informed consent, to not understand the nature of the LaRouche phenomenon is a dangerously naive rejection of the lessons of history--because Lyndon LaRouche represents the most recent incarnation of the unique twentieth-century phenomenon known as totalitarian fascism. LaRouche is hardly the first proponent of these views, and he is unlikely to be the last. Therefore there is a deadly serious reason to study the rise and fall of Lyndon LaRouche, the man who brought us fascism wrapped in an American flag.... Read the article

	by Scott McLemee (from Insidehighered.com) His adherents regard Lyndon LaRouche as the greatest mind of the past 300 years, at very least.
