6. Left, right, not crucial.
I don't know about those labels. LaRouche is against abortion rights and the death penalty. He is for strong state regulation and nationalizing the Federal Reserve. His economic views are not socialist per se, but are influenced by traditional social democracy--they are best described as "dirigist," meaning pro-state ordering of the economy. I suspect that many of the "conspiracy theories" are deliberately exaggerated in order to gain a militant yet small following. Much of their investigations of neo-conservatism and secret societies have some validity that shouldn't be dismissed.
