After her return from China, where she participated in an international
conference in Qufu, the birthplace of
Confucius, Helga Zepp-LaRouche summarized the global situation and the
necessary mobilization of the International LaRouche Movement as
follows:
“If you look at the world as a totality, you have essentially
two motions: you have the motion toward destruction, the oligarchical
principle, war, austerity, degradation of people and their so-called
cultural tastes. But it’s an entropic motion. But then you have on the
other side, those forces in the world that are somehow, in whatever
fashion comes from their cultural tradition are in a constructive
mode: building, furthering the cause of humanity. And in a certain
sense, I can see very clearly the potential, in that those forces in
the world who are in line with the laws of the universe, are becoming
stronger, and stronger, and stronger. And what we are seeing right
now, is just an end-struggle, if you like, of a dying system which
clearly is unable to reform, because its proponents are so absolutely
determined to their own privilege, that they cannot even see the
interest of their nation.
And I think what we have to do, is, we have to give people that
sense that humanity is, in one sense growing up, and it’s quite
natural that they would turn at many places in the world to Lyn’s
ideas, because from all the thinkers, from Confucius, Leibniz, Kepler,
whoever else—I mean, Lyn has taken all of these tendencies a step
forward, and he has, in his entire life’s work, given the world a way
how to become coherent. And I think it’s very clear that all the
forces who are striving toward this, eventually recognize that. And I
think what it means is that what we have to do in the United States,
and in Europe, is to make people conscious of that, and actually only
the good-meaning people have to take a really relatively small step:
and that is, to consciously reject the idea that you need an enemy,
that confrontation is the way to go, to take the step instead to
cooperation. And then, everything will fall into place.”
Zepp-LaRouche also emphasized two tasks facing all friends of
humanity: First, to stop the escalation of warfare. Second, to
recognize the failure of the policy behind the warfare and to initiate
a new, correct policy. The Schiller Institute’s two upcoming
international conferences – one in Europe and one
from May 24-25 in the New
York metropolitan area (online and in
person) – have a special responsibility in this regard.
