AE @ HuffPo: Chomsky Dissent Not Enough

   [1]My latest is up, addressing Professor Chomsky:

     Yet, the fact is that today, globalization, which Chomsky always
     said was the handmaiden of neo-liberalism, and a construction of
     powerful Western governments, has an equally sordid evil twin, and
     this is the globalized monstrosity of extremely extreme extremist
     Islam. By the way, when I talk about extremists, I am not referring
     to terrorists alone. Would it were that this globalized
     undercurrent of violence was merely political! There exists today a
     form of globalized lifestyle and cultural extremism galvanized and
     organized and idealized by millions. This extremism, where it is
     not suffocating art, scholarship, freedom and love, it is
     murdering, killing, and beating to death. It must be identified and
     spoken out against with the same gusto reserved for neo-imperialism
     and corporatism. Dissent against all three is not inconsistent as
     they each mutually feed one another and leave vast numbers of human
     beings without a voice, without life.
