Significance for Infrared
For some reason, libtards really over-exaggerate his significance for Infrared, going so far as to call Infrared 'LaRoucheite.'
Infrared thinks LaRouche has said some interesting things, but generally doesn't agree with him.
From the streams
- On the movement (INFRARED RENAISSANCE stream): "I learned a lot from the LaRouche movement. As much as there's disagreements there... One of the things that happens with these organizations is they lose the ability to try new things. They get in a rut, and the rut is imposed by the state." Resilience AND state-imposed sclerosis.
- On the man (Political bloodsports debate): "Lyndon LaRouche was somebody who was a communist with anti-Malthusian..." — corrected by his interlocutor: "He wasn't a communist. He was like a Luxemburg Marxist economist and then broke with it. He really abandoned any semblance of Marxism."
- The physical-economic program (World Land Bridge, NAWAPA) enters Infrared's platform directly from this lineage (World Land Bridge, North American Water and Power Alliance).
The Lesson
Take the development economics and infrastructure vision; refuse the cult organizational form — "the rut imposed by the state" being what destroyed the LaRouches (Project Cyclone).
