Mark Pavlick quoting David Peterson:
(Do you agree with this Mark? I quote the whole paragraph,
but only the last line is pertinent.)
>>     * Schweickart says that "combating Islamic fascism is not
one of
>>them...."  This is partly true, and partly false.  And by the
way, were the
>>Italian fascists really "Christian fascism"???  We definitely
need to clear,
>>analytically sound concepts of (a) fascism, (b) Islam, (c)
Islamic fascism
>>(that's assuming that such a thing really is possible and
really does exist
>>in the instances as hand), and (d) militarism,  which seems to
me what we
>>should be calling it: heavily militarized Islamicismismismism,
or something
>>like that.  What this suggests is that not only Al Qaeda, but
the Supercult
>>of American Power, are very much of the same nature, just not
the same
>>scale.

This last line is sloppy thinking and will only damage the left.
