"LaRouche: Youth Movement Key to Saving Civilization"
This week’s edition of The LaRouche Connection features an
address given by Lyndon LaRouche on
January 5 to the staff of EIR News Service at its European bureau in
Telling his audience that the survival of civilization, and its ability to recover from the current global crisis depends on the success of the international youth movement that he personally is building, Mr. LaRouche explains that only the creation of a youth movement based upon an understanding of fundamental principles--such as the distinction that makes man different from the beasts--and that is committed to fight for policies based on those principles, will have the staying power to prevent a slide back into crisis and chaos. Whenever society allows itself to be governed by the prevailing popular opinions, that society heads for tragedy and doom. The key then to saving civilization, is the rise of a leader, at a moment of crisis, who is able to lift a people above their wrong-headed popular opinions, enable them "to recognize that their culture is rotten, and to change it, in time." Such leaders "did not work alone. As far as we know, there have been youth movements, who have arisen in response to such leadership, to kick their parents in the rear end, and to make them human again."
Mr. LaRouche provides a tour d’horizon of European and American history, pointing out that civilization is marked by ebbs and flows, moving forward where leaders and movements go against popular opinion, and falling back and even collapsing, as cultures slide into decay. Using the example of the Golden Renaissance giving way to the decadence of the Enlightenment and Romanticism, he describes how a network of leaders were able to revive principles of the Renaissance, to create a new potential flowering of human knowledge and civilization: Johann Sebastian Bach, Gottfried Leibniz. Abraham Kaestner, Lessing, Moses Mendelssohn, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, among many others.
Mr. LaRouche describes his own efforts to build a youth movement, starting, really, in the 1960s, and reviving it in the last two years, as the organization he founded has aged. "The difference of this youth movement, and those you’ve known from the past, is [that prior] youth movements have been too practical. There’s been too much enthusiasm, and too little intellect. And therefore you do not have leaders in sufficient numbers, to have a secure movement…. Therefore, we have to produce a youth movement of geniuses. We have to outnumber the enemy, so we’re not vulnerable to the loss of a few people, as we are now."
You do that by inculcating in youth leaders the principles of Classical culture, making them all capable of thinking like LaRouche. A grounding in Classical education, especially understanding the work of the great German mathematician Gauss, teaches one to grasp the idea that reality is not defined by one’s senses, but by one’s ability to think, to see with one’s mind. This is the essence of man, his ability to know, to think creatively, to discover fundamental principles, and to communicate them; no beast can willfully change its environment, no beast can make its own history.
To be a real leader, one must be willing to face one’s immortality. "My mission here, is to develop a stratum of young people – 18 to 25 year olds – who represent a broad base of capable leadership, who by being broad in their numbers, and qualities, are not so vulnerable, as those youth movements to which we are indebted from the past."

Representing what its former friends around the world call "the true United Sates," the historical "exception" founded by a Leibnizian conspiracy as a sovereign republic, opposed to the bestial notion of empire, Mr. LaRouche’s approach to the world contrasts dramatically from the current sitting President. LaRouche insists that the utopian drive to attack Iraq can be stopped, while Bush encourages it; LaRouche demonstrates that the current financial system is finished, and outlines economic recovery measures to save the country, while Bush ignores the collapse of the financial system and the physical economy; LaRouche outlines forceful action to stop HIV/AIDS from wiping out nations in Africa, while Bush inserts an HIV/AIDS initiative to supply drugs to Africa, at the last minute in his speech.
Constituting the live audience of over 250 in Washington, DC, were 19
diplomats representing 16 nations spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, Eastern
Europe, Ibero-America, and the Middle East; as well as representatives from
associations of State legislators, Middle East policy associations, American
Muslim organizations, the Nation of Islam, Congressional staff, community,
ethnic, and political activists, and three representatives of the press.

Mr. LaRouche’s address is a thorough-composed overview of what he calls "the present as current history." He covers four major areas: (1) the causes and nature of the present economic crisis; (2) the emergency measures which must be taken now; (3) the global strategic conflicts which overlap this economic crisis; and (4) the urgent measures needed to correct the current panic-driven notions of "homeland defense." Mr. LaRouche uses the occasion to call for firing Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff and chief national security aide.
Mr. LaRouche concludes by saying "[T]here's no need for the problems we have today. There’s no need for their happening. But if we understand why they shouldn’t have happened, as I’ve tried to indicate as succinctly as possible, we can fix the problems now, and perhaps prevent them from recurring again in the future."

Turning to the cause of the crisis, Mr. LaRouche reprises what has happened
to the
"In history, from time to time, in moments of crisis, there has emerged a leadership, capable of addressing a people who realize ‘We’ve been wrong.’ The danger of great, senseless wars, sweeping over this planet, convinces people that something is wrong; that drastic change is occurring." "We’ve come to a time, when it is no longer possible to fool all of the people. This is one of those periods in history of great opportunity for change, where the fate of mankind depends largely upon a relative handful of leaders; always has. And, there’s reason for it." "The most important thing, is to produce, among young people, when they are entering maturity, a sense--a true, deep sense--of immortality." If the younger generation, the "no-future" generation," can grasp that sense, then they in turn can inspire their parents’ generation with a true sense of historic mission for humanity. We can then proceed to put the economy through bankruptcy reorganization, implement a New Bretton Woods, build great infrastructure projects such as the Eurasian Land-Bridge, the Super-TVA, and the exploration of space: a real future! "I think we’ll find the world is ready for us. Its ready for us to play a leading role, once again."

"What we have to understand is that, in this tragedy, as in all Classical tragedies, in all true tragedies in history, the root of disaster is not leaders of the people. It is not leading institutions. It is the people themselves, who bring disaster upon themselves, by selecting leaders, or by supporting leaders, who are the agents of that disaster. That’s what the Greek tragedy teaches. That’s what Shakespeare teaches. That’s what Schiller teaches. That’s truth."
Mr. LaRouche explains the roots of popular corruption and challenges his audience to give up those public opinions, and policy axioms, which permitted world leaders to start this war--and to mobilize for a worldwide economic recovery program which could lead to world peace. This program has been developed over years by the LaRouche movement, in the form of the Eurasian Land-Bridge and an FDR-style New Bretton Woods monetary and financial system.
