Those who perceive the potential and the dignity of the human being, cannot at the same time trample upon it, or watch it being trampled upon by fascist boots. The only option that such people see before them, is to raise up humanity to the realization of its potential. So far, Lyndon LaRouche and his organization stand alone in promoting the platform of universal development for the full realization of mankind's potential while much of the world stands aside in silence, even though the whole world would profit immensely if his development proposals were accepted. Except, he is not alone in being rejected in this manner.
There were a few others in history who had promoted the same or similar option. The most notable of these were the Philadelphia Interests centered around Henry Carey in the USA (in the 1800s) who had envisioned to engage the combined economic potential of Germany and America to develop Russia and Asia to the same level of productive potential that the two leading industrial nations, themselves had enjoyed. This would have corresponded in principle to the action that Christ Jesus illustrated in the parable of the Samaritan who had raised the man up from his injuries. History, of course, records that this did not happen. Instead, British diplomacy set the nations as war with each other. War has always been the Empire's favorite tool to prevent the development of humanity.
Instead of the world standing up for itself, and aiding the development of Asia that would have sparked the development of the whole world, the world stood aside and allowed the British Empire launch two devastating dope wars against China that destroyed the potential of this nation, and impose irrational nationalist ideologies in Europe that set the nations of Europe at each other's throat for their eventual self-destruction. More then 30 million people lost their life as a consequence of the world's apathy in protecting itself, and many times more in one considers the consequences of the world-wide economic development that did not happen. This massive tragedy would not have happened had the principle been understood that Christ Jesus illustrated in the parable. Was Christ Jesus justified, therefore, in saying: "This do, and thou shalt live?"
The same devastating disinterest was encountered in the next century, too, a few years after the dust had settled from the fallout of World War I. Dr. Sun Yat-sen of China suggested virtually the same thing the Philadelphia interests around Henry Carey had suggested. Dr. Sun Yat-sen proposed that the industrial potential of the world that had supplied the theatres of war in Europe, should be employed to its fullest capacity for the development of China, from which, again, the whole world would have benefitted. This, again, would have been in accord with the principle that Christ Jesus has illustrated in the parable of the Samaritan. Dr. Sun Yat-sen also warned the world, from the basis of what he understood as fundamental law, that if the proposed option would not be chosen, a new war would become inevitable.
History records that he was right. His words fell on deaf ears, and since the world did not respond to its own great need, as a consequence, the second world war erupted, the Cold War afterwards, and in China, Mao Zedong's cultural revolution created a self-escalating economic and social catastrophe that caused as many deaths over its period than World War II had caused in all aspects put together. The total may be above the 100 million mark, nearing 150 million deaths, if not more.
Again, Jesus' words were justified, pointing to the principle he illustrated, when he said: "This do, and thou shalt live."
In today's world, the principle that Christ Jesus understood, which is promoted again by Lyndon LaRouche and his organization, stands in opposition to the Aristocratic processes that very few people throughout history had cared to defend themselves against. For many years Lyndon LaRouche stood alone on this account. Except, now, during 1997, he is finding some faint response as people are beginning to recognize the validity of the principle that Christ Jesus has illustrated, that became in 15th Century the principle for the Renaissance and everything that came out of it, which Lyndon LaRouche has been promoting now for over 25 years. In the face of the presently unfolding world-financial disintegration, which he has foreseen several decades ago, he points to the utility of the historically demonstrated principles and says with the authority of a scientist: "This do, and thou shalt live."
