Cultural Writing. Politics. This Red Banner Reader follows Lyndon Larouche from his origins in the Socialist Worker's Party to his interlude with the National Caucus of Labor committees, and on to the flood of organizations, fronts, committees, parties, caucuses and whatever that Larouche has generated since his prison release in 1994. It notes Larouche's psychotic collapse and wildly cultist behavior of the 1970's, and traces the links, not without consequence, between cult politics and "real" politics in the worlds of Reagan and Bush.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Highly recommended...packed with up-to-date information to refute the deceptions of LaRouche organizers on campuses and within the anti-globalization movement." -- Dennis King, author of LYNDON LAROUCHE & THE NEW AMERICAN FASCISM
From the Publisher
Recruiters for the LaRouche movement are highly visible on campuses and street corners. Though frequently denounced as a cult, the far-right politics of the movement are buried under mountains of misdirection, half-truths and inflammatory assertions. This brief but detailed study exposes LaRouche's origins and current stance on key issues, and shows how he is using classic fascist manipulation and scapegoating to recruit the disaffected.

Is LaRouche really a fascist?,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lyndon Larouche: Fascism Restyled for the New Millennium (Red Banner Reader) (Paperback)
This 50 page pamphlet by a member of the Freedom Socialist Party, a feminist, anarchist-socialist organization, is well written, easily read, informative, and makes some really fine points about LaRouche and his network, but it doesn't convincingly prove LaRouche is a Fascist. A better attempt is made in Dennis King's Lyndon LaRouche and the New American Fascism. Gilbert employs some of the same arguments made by King and adds a feminist critic, while approaching a definition of Fascism from the standpoint of Trotsky. But she tries "too hard" to fit LaRouche into the stereotypical fascist mold, which will leave readers familiar with LaRouche's views (those most likely to buy the book) unconvinced. The fact is, it truly is questionable whether LaRouche is potentially, or in fact, a Fascist. The cultism surrounding his persona, and his allegedly anti-semitic conspiracy theories are not proof. [...]. LaRouche's typical anti-fascist stance against these political rivals complicates matters. The better argument made by Gilbert is that LaRouche on certain isssues, from the socialist point of view, is reactionary.

This review is from: Lyndon Larouche: Fascism Restyled for the New Millennium (Red Banner Reader) (Paperback)
This little book is comparable to 'New American Fascism' but more condensed. There are a few interesting stories in it. Ultimately, it didn't convince me to not join LaRouche's political movement so I spent three years working with LaRouche. The book definitely raises interesting questions, though the answers to which must be discovered by the reader.

EXCELLENT BOOK,
By "thasupadopemutha2" (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lyndon Larouche: Fascism Restyled for the New Millennium (Red Banner Reader) (Paperback)
Lyndon LaRouche is insain...he is a convicted felon and yet still manages to convince many progressive-minded young people to throw away their lives and donate their time and money to him.
