Having been regularly bombarded with its propaganda while living in DC, I am fascinated to read this piece by Avi Klein on Lyndon LaRouche’s political movement in the new issue of Washington Monthly.

In the almost forty years since its inception, despite spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a week in operations and annually printing millions of books and magazines, the LaRouche operation has had no significant effect on American politics. It is remarkable in its impotence.

A very good read. One of the most interesting parts of the piece is the flashback to the days when LaRouche was attracting intellectuals as followers. It’s a sharp contrast with the vulgar, slogan-chanting goons who pass out his unreadable propaganda today.
