Henwood may have many demons but to identify him as a cyberfascist is as
peculiar as describing "the violence against us ..."  

what fascism ? what violence ? 

none ... none. a little sober honesty would be useful.

rhetorical overkill is to violence as theory is to life -- a very pale
premonition. wasnt it lenin who said that theory is grey, life is green ? 

as far as your theory of lenin as justifying a virtual colonization of
consciousness. that might be a correct stalinist view or maybe even a NEP
rationalization. it has nothing to do with winning the battle of democracy
and more to do with the fascist instinct.
