Turns out he's a reactionary weirdo.
But... The wiki page didn't really mention him holding any actual Marxist beliefs and was anti-USSR. Based on the description, he seems like a dead-on Q guy who was born at the wrong time. Except he apparently thought infiltrating the democrats was a better strategy than the Republicans. Although, trying to make the democrats increasingly conservative is a pretty well established mainstream strategy, so it's hard to call him fringe in this respect.
It doesn't seem to me that his ideas were actually influential at all in the American left or right, quite frankly. I think he's really more of an indicator that America is excellent at producing this type of guy.
spent most of his time condemning other Marxists for not understanding Marx.
Oh, so he was a real communist.
TrueAnon had an excellent 2 part series on LaRouche: https://soundcloud.com/trueanonpod/lyndon-larouche-the-assassins-creed

Cool. Might check that out.
Checked it out. Ep 2 not available :(
Let me know if this doesn't work for whatever reason: https://mega.nz/file/cIAlRZoT#aeTt-d44Ch0EW57rLGpQ-iubE9Vxh-g1c1OvxYKYhOU
Looks like it works. Thanks. I'll will beam this right into my brain.
I’ll try to see if I can find a copy of Ep. 2 for you later on today.
I think he was a nominal communist during his youth then got bored when no one took him seriously and pivoted to nazism
Ran into these nuts at the DMV 20 years ago. Best I can tell, LaRouche isn't really a politician as much as he's a cult leader.
I think the term "dipshit" describes reactionary weirdos far better
It gets even more fun when you learn that his sect suffered multiple schisms after his death, with his wife and a few Americans each saying they're each the true successor after the guy and have all gone in their own odd directions all based off of the different sections of the man's ideological life to the point you could take a handful of his claimed followers, stuff them in a room, ask for their opinions on what the guy thought, and basically get a whole smattering of different answers ranging from protestant mysticism to succdem FDR worship and a variety of answers in-between.
