Ten Principles for a New Epoch

Leading Developments

Nov. 29—“This incredible pregnant moment of history … is fraught with the danger of the present geopolitical conflict between NATO on the one side and Russia and China on the other escalating into a thermonuclear war, which could be the annihilation of mankind, but which also has the potential to be the transition point to a completely new and much better epoch in the history of mankind,” Helga Zepp-LaRouche opened her speech to an audience of scientists, diplomats, and students today, at the International BRICS School.

Creating that much better an epoch means establishing a new basis for relations among nations. Zepp-LaRouche has laid out ten principles for doing just that, first presenting them for discussion at a November 22 event of the Schiller Institute. They have been posted in written form at this link.

As the LaRouche movement organizes leaders and world citizens around this perspective, it is helpful that Patrick Lawrence has revisited the historical background for Zepp-LaRouche’s proposal, in a recent article on Zhou Enlai’s Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence — and their extension into the Ten Principles discussed by the Non-Aligned Movement in 1955 — as the alternative to the so-called “rules-based order,” which is nothing other than a US-UK-NATO order.

The Five Principles are the first order of business in Zepp-LaRouche’s conception, with a series of specific goals and approaches: ending poverty, ensuring full health care, universal education. The trans-Atlantic financial / economic system must be reorganized with these aims in mind, to support, through directed credit, the infrastructure platform required to bring economic productivity to a much higher level. Geopolitics and the threat of nuclear war must be eliminated through the establishment of a reasoned international approach, exemplified by the Coincidence of Opposites approach of Nicolaus of Cusa. An optimistic culture of science and beauty, based on the uniquely perfectible reason of man, is the way to overcome the evil that is the lack of development.

Such an approach is sorely needed, and the times are ripe for big, new ideas to take hold.

The threat of nuclear war is driving more and more leaders to break their internal barriers to speaking the truth. The pathetic fraud of Biden as a new FDR is on full display in his brutal demand that Congress force rail workers back to work, without even the most basic of sick leave. And many of those who recognize the immense danger of starting a nuclear war with Russia are being pulled into urging a revolution in China!

The time for a new epoch is here. “Provided we can rally the better part of humanity around such principles and thus put the interest of the one humanity ahead of all particular interests, we will be active creators in what could become a beautiful ‘Sternstunde der Menschheit,’ a star hour of humanity,” said Zepp-LaRouche, in concluding her remarks to the BRICS assembly. “For Friedrich Schiller there was no contradiction between a patriot and a world citizen, who would take the fate of all humanity in his heart and mind. So let’s create a world movement of world citizens!”

Not ‘90 Seconds to Midnight,’ but One Week to ‘The Age of Reason or the Annihilation of Humanity?’

Jan. 27—“Pentiti!” “No!”…“Ah! tempo più non v’è!” “Repent!” “No!”…“Ah! Your time is up!” But the Doomsday Clock still read 90 seconds to midnight! What had happened? The explanation was simple. The clock-time was not physical time. They had all precisely miscalculated. Anglosphere geopoliticians and “strategic realists,” take heed. “Pentiti!”

Confront an Evil March Toward WWIII With Relentless Optimism

Jan. 26—Yesterday’s “Tanks to Ukraine” parade, a silly and dangerous piece of theater, meant primarily to busy Europe into a perpetual state of conflict, provoked more than a few forces around the world today to dig deeper into their own principles. In Gottfried Leibniz’s “best of all possible worlds,” evil is certainly possible, but the better angel of mankind’s nature always has the capacity to rise to the occasion, forging a greater good than otherwise would have been possible. Today provided more than a few examples.
