www.justiceforjeremiah.com This website is run by the family of Jeremiah Duggan, a Jewish university student from the U.K. who died under mysterious circumstances while apparently fleeing in terror from a LaRouche indoctrination program in Wiesbaden, Germany. The site has material on the indoctrination methods of the LaRouchians, as well as on the circumstances surrounding Jeremiah's death and the probable cover-up by the German police (who instantly declared the death a suicide based on lies provided by LaRouche aides, destroyed key evidence, and refused to reopen the investigation in spite of forensic and other findings suggesting that Jeremiah may have been murdered).
www.larouche-danger.com New website from Erica Duggan, mother of Jeremiah. Offers background information on LaRouche's political operations and links to LaRouche-related court filings and trial transcripts. Set up in an effort to encourage more parents who have children in the LaRouche cult to come forward and express their views.

NATLFED aka the Communist Party Provisional Wing is a pseudo-Stalinist cadre organization founded by the late Gerald Doeden, who used the pseudonym "Gino Perente" (also spelled "Parente"). It was loosely allied with the LaRouchians and the Newmanites in the 1970s, and the leaders of all three fledgling cults appear to have borrowed recruitment and cadre-control methods from one another. Today, they are what one might call the "Big Three" among U.S. political cults, although what ranks as "big" among such entities is relatively small (in terms of membership figures) compared to the major religious cults. A fourth political cult, the Bay Area-based Democratic Workers Party (background information here and here), disbanded in the late 1980s. A fifth such group, the 0, an underground revolutionary entity based in Minneapolis (read here and here), appears to have disintegrated in recent years although secretive fragments may still exist.
Several extant Maoist and Trotskyist groups in the United States have been accused of cultism (sometimes by each other), but the accusations have not been adequately backed by evidence of ex-members seeking counseling from the anti-cult mental health community, the formation of ex-member support groups or web sites, studies by watchdog organizations, or probes by investigative journalists. Although the lack of documentation in some cases may just reflect the under-the-radar-screen obscurity, secretive clandestine tactics, and extremely small membership of the group in question, it is probably wisest to put most such groups--regardless of size or degree of obscurity--in the category of high-commitment sects manifesting varying degrees of authoritarianism (a category that includes many religious sects as well) unless or until solid evidence of full-blown cultism emerges.
Political as opposed to religious cultism on the U.S. far right seems to be more rare (one example is the LaRouchians--although they moved to the right only after congealing into a cult while still on the left). The far right has its own set of secular-ideological pathologies, but that is another story.
