When I was in Berlin in April of 2008, and I met some people near Kurfürstendamm, who tried to invite me to a lecture about the LaRouche movement, I asked M.I.T. professor of linguistics and philosophy, Noam Chomsky by email, what he thought about it.



Here is what he replied:

I would like to ask you about a controversial labour movement, called

the 'LaRouche movement' which promotes the political ideas of Lyndon

LaRouche, who has both been called a fascist and an anti-Semite, and

the movement promotes a number of beliefs which are called conspiracy

theories by critics.



I have been approached in the streets of Berlin by young people who

are part of this, but since I had not heard of them before, I need

your advice.



I have not found any commentary by you on them, or by them on you, but

when they told me it was a labour movement (they wished not to

identify themselves either as leftist or right-leaning, or anything,

but they wanted to talk about the European Constitution, and how it is

being signed without the knowledge of Europeans, and global economics,

climate, etc.), then I asked them about you, but they thought LaRouche





was rather critical of Chomsky. Is that true?



Now, I am confused.



Please, tell me, if you have written anything about them, or they on

you, or what you think of this movement?
