I do believe there is a difference between the left-channel and the right channel though.

I think they may differ on what they consider to be the downsides of the dollar-system, and the goals they have with de-dollarizarion. (For all: who should be its benificiaries. The actual 'people', societies? Or their (autocatic) leaders, oligarchs, (economic) elites and other superrich and powerful players?)

I understand also serious economists see downsides to the global dollar system. (e.g. Steve Keen on YT)

For America (more expensive currency/production/exports, a reason for industry to leave. Workers unemployed + basis for imperial status hollowed out on long run. Also , but not only, stressed by maga).

And also for other countries, altgough i dont remember exactly (e.g. strict IMF adherence? Markettheory-rules rule? Loans-Cuttings?)

Rich players and autocratic leaders probably see the control and oversight (on them) as the main downside? Not the downsides for the common people.

I can imagine the left-channel could prefer e.g. a return to the Keynes-idea at Bretton Woods (?)

The right-channel certainly will not mean to do that, i guess!

Whatever his other actions and ideas, and the conspirational background also to this one, Larouches ideas themselves about this subject still don't sound very bad to me.

But at the same time misused by certain players (incl. himselve? maybe not) to benefit quite different goals than advertized.

Esp. the left-channel leaders and adherents must often be confused by this, esp. nowadays.

the left channel i am referring to is not democratic politicians but people like medea benjamin, Richard medhurst and others. they see the usa as the main evil and are happy to work with anyone. their job is to pull democrat and social democrats further towards the extreme left. you can see in the charts I printed that this left and holocaust deniers on the ultra right are happy to work together.

Okay, i'll check that out..

but the 'respectables' are pro-democratic. And supported by some economists.
