No match for Bach and Socrates




Posted on Amazon as a "review" of a supposed Spetsnaz sticker. 

I'm not sure if this is an authentic symbol of the Soviet Special Forces (spetsnaz). However, I recall a bizarre discussion on a LaRouchian radio broadcast about 30 years ago. The LaRouchian faithful in Sweden, the EAP, claimed that the spetsnaz were planning attacks on Swedish territory, presumably from mini-submarines sneaked into the Stockholm Archipelago. Not to worry, though! Lyndon LaRouche had apparently explained that NATO soldiers with “a classical education” could defeat the spetsnaz, who were just “robots”. I'm not sure how they were supposed to defeat the spetsnaz? By singing Bach's arias? By reciting Plato's Symposium? By trying to sell them New Solidarity? Well, I never got that mystery cleared up. These days, of course, the LaRouche Movement, ahem, *supports* Russia, so presumably they no longer have to worry about confronting their special forces… If Lyn has given the spetsnaz opera lessons, is perhaps another matter entirely.
