I was reading the long post of "evidence" of LaRouche's ""Fascism"" and
""Anti-Semitism"" when a (Jewish) friend walked in and asked what was
that?  "Dirt about LaRouche," I replied.  Reading the screen he said,
"What makes THAT DIRT?"
   In a slug quoting him        cited from "DESPITE What Israel has Done"
LaRouche is quoted as urging the use of the Platonic method to elevate
the population and policy of Israel.  He says that about the USA.  No
anti-semitism there.
   There is also an anti-Zionist quote cited from a writing called
"Zionism Is Not Judaism."  Apparently he is distinguishing the two and
condemning the one but not the other.  Or in PC talk  are sharp distinctions
not permitted?
   Interested in these bits of "evidence"  (and lots of anti-Brit stuff,
a few crumbs cited about who sponsored the evil Hitler -- how is all that
evidence of either pro-Fascism or Anti-Semitism?--as I read it it is all
either cognitively irrelevant or evidence AGAINST the LaRouche is an
anti-Semitic Nazi line)  I WENT AND READ THE CITATION ABOUT JUDAISM
in the essay entitled (and note the title) "The Case of Ludwig Feuerbach."
   JUDICIOUS EDITING AND MISQUOTATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL TO BOLSTERING THE
"EVIDENCE" FOR lArOUCHE'S BEING ANTI-SEMITIC.
    In somewhat fuller quotation what he wrote 20 years ago, around the
Feuerbach/"Essence of Christianity"  issue  (and that IS the real topic,
not Judaism) goes as follows:
       "Athough A.D. Judaism is an outgrowth of the development of
Christianity (e.g., the first such rabbi, Philo of Alexandria [a collaborator
of St. Peter and Jewish theologian of a Platonic type--me]  there was a preceed
ing Hebrew faith OF SORTS, elements of which were syncretically  assimilated
in the successive phases of the manufacture of post-Philo Judaism.  ...
Christianity [which in this essay LaRouche seems to have a quasi-Marxist
assessment concerning: i.e., the best ALIENATED woldview to date] has
regarded [note: "Christianity"  not LaRouche]  Judaism as the imperfect,
special form of Christianity. ... This relationship does more than express
Christian prejudice; it is the secret of [post-Philo] Judaism itself.
Judaism is the ideological abstraction of the secular life of Christianity's
Jew, the Roman merchant-userer who had not yet evolved to the state of papal
enlightenment, a half-Christian .... As for "Jewish culture" otherwise
[note shudder quotes and the distinction from Judaism as a religion or
spirituality] it is merely the residue left
to the Jewish home after averything saleable has been marketed to the
Goyim."
   All of this is in along footnote on the issue of Feuerbachianized
analysis of The Holy Trinity, Gnosticism and the like.  One may not
subscribe to Marxist rectifications of Feuerbach on Christianity,
but this is NOT evidence of any anti-semitism.
   I wish we could use these high-tech media for the propagation
of honest thought, not opportunistic calumny with no intellectual
honesty.
