Funny, whatever the publication that TR Bukley read refered to Lyndon LarRouche as "Far Left." I challenge anyone on this net to name one elemeent of LaRouche's program that qualifies as being leftist. The man is rabidly anti-communist, promotes nuclear power and beam weapons, and is subtley anti-semitic. What leftist ideology has anything to do with that? In South Africa, they use the term communist as a generic identifier for opponents of the regime.

Yes, Henry Kissinger is a declared Communist"! Did you know that NBC News called Lyndon LaRouche a "Little Hitler"? Moscow has also been critical of Lyndon LaRouche! I didn't know that NBC News worked for Moscow. Vote Lyndon LaRouche, and help throw Henry Kissinger out of Government." -- Binayak Banerjee {allegra | astrovax | bpa | burdvax}!sjuvax!bbanerje

Stalin was more than subtly anti-semitic, and he executed over 90% of the people of any importance who led the Bolshevik revolution. Maybe the latter means he qualifies as "anti-communist". Hitler called himself some kind of socialist in order to appeal to whoever he would appeal to that way. "Rightist" and "leftist" labels are usually used as a short-cut to avoid thinking about what people profess or indend to do, and whether they have any principals. So maybe we should just stop hearing those labels.
