Neiwert Responds
From a reader:
Neiwart's response to your response is incredible:
Jonah: Contemporary labels are opportunistic and confuse the political
reality. Here is why this is...
Neiwart: Labels aren't the issue. Fascists are racists, racists are
right-wingers, therefore you and the right have a lot of accounting to
do! Why aren't you accounting?!
I'm tempted to just leave it there since I think so little of Neiwart's attempt. It seems to boil down to: Fascists are always the bad guys. There are real bad guys today. They are on the right. Therefore they are the real fascists. Talk about anti-intellectual!
Anyway, I'm done with book stuff for the evening. It's family time and cocktail hour. Maybe more later. Then again, maybe not.
