I now understand the reason for the suicide of the Larouchite, the, um, guy who apparently ran Larouche’s print-shop. He did it for the Cause<\/a>. And because he learned that he was less than human… the “beast” of the proverbial “man versus beast” equation.
\nIn the morning just hours prior to the Kronberg suicide on April 11, a daily internal document, the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153morning briefing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d circulated among members of the LaRouche entities, lashed out, in a paraphrase of LaRouche, at what it called the failures of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153baby boom\u00e2\u20ac\u009d generation, including among the entities\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 own members, and singled out \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the print shop\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153among the worst.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d It then went on to state, speaking to the younger generation, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the Boomers will be scared into becoming human, because you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the real world, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not. Unless they want to commit suicide.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153morning briefing\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is considered authoritative within all the LaRouche entities that many, including many former participants, contend operate collectively like a cult. The April 11 version, written by Tony Papert of LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s inner leadership circle, his National Executive Committee, appears to assert that the only way the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153baby boom\u00e2\u20ac\u009d generation, ostensibly including those among LaRouche\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own associates, can be in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153real world\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is through suicide.<\/p>\n

Kronberg was among the long-term associates of LaRouche, dating back to the early 1970s, that LaRouche has been claiming in a series of recent statements are responsible, by being typical of the so-called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153baby boom\u00e2\u20ac\u009d generation, for the ineffectiveness of his movement, despite their decades of personal sacrifices in support of his cause. His appeal has been to the new leadership potential of his so-called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153LaRouche Youth Movement.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n

I suppose I now have deeper insight into the question from the Larouchite who left a message a couple of months ago — “Do You know the difference between man and beast?”.
\nWondering what to make of this, I go off and click “Larouche” into a blog search engine. Lyndon Larouche is thinking about traveling back to India<\/a>. Bully for him. Bully for this blogger who seems incapable of posting anything other than articles from Larouche’s publications. This guy learns about Larouche’s late 80s early 90s joining of the crusade to change the pitch standard<\/a>. As for “our very own Lyndon Larouche” — please take him.<\/p>\n

Baby Boomers of the world — you know what to do. You must make way for the new generation! It is a ritual cleansing. It is time to purge the old guard.
\nI don’t know anymore. Next time you see a Larouchite on a street corner or campus corner, just know to yourself the internal struggles of what has produced this garbage. I presume the pamphlets they will be peddling to you, surely for the rest of the school year, will have been handled by the man who was ordered to commit suicide.
