    When I was in college I ran into my first larouchites. I was a massive lib, 10 years before I would begin to understand Marxism, but even then I was like "i think these guys are just using big words and concepts to bullshit me. I think their politics are extremely weird but they have to hide it in language too confusing to understand."

      They were very brash and very in-thier-own-heads about shit. Ron Paul was able to steal all the Bush Era LaRoushite thunder by just saying really basic shit like "War is Bad", "Weed should be legal" and "Budget deficits will create inflation".

      So much easier to be a Paul<redacted> than a LaRoushite when you don't need a crash course in 70s politics to know what the hell is going on.
