yeah i spose textbook isn't the best word choice but I would put them in that category. and wow thank you for sharing this article. i knew the basic outline of larouche but this article adds in an another fckd angle. i'm only half done but it's crazy. taiwan was also sponsoring ukrainian nationalists in the 80s? wtf!

The thing is, I wouldn't call them neo-con... that would presuppose they currently support the west's foreign policy and thus its military actions, let alone neolib...

In February 2017, to mark “the third anniversary of the Soros-Obama backed-Nazi coup in Ukraine,” LaRouche PAC called for a nation-wide Day of Action “to stop the live operation to launch a similar Nazi ‘color revolution’ against the Trump administration in the U.S. today.” They went with the slogan, “Jail Obama and Soros for Treason,” and the EIR published a special report — “Nazis in Ukraine, 2014; USA, 2017?” — with “Jail Obama!”

Paleo-con, maybe, is more accurate?

Just to say tho, they are unsalvageable, they have too much reactionary and reformist western brainworms to do so...
