Could anyone here who thinks LaROuche is fascist explain how that
evaluation is consistent with his long-standing opposition to the
death penalty? Seems a little odd for a "fascist", to say the least.

	Well, I have not got a formal background in ideological studies,
but I did spend time researching right wing politics at a newspaper I
worked at.  The most consistent definitions I have found for Fascism say
nothing of the death penalty.

	A fascist could easily conclude that the death penalty was wrong
for a number of reasons, including the difficulty it might create for
consolidating power and holding it in the face of political opposition
to a noticably murderous regime.
	
	Why do you think the death penalty is part and parcel of
fascism?  Am I missing something?
