Chris Hitchens and the NDAA

The Supreme Court let stand the NDAA which says the USMilitary can seize USCitizens in USA and disappear them until the "end of hostilities" without due process.
The government, by ignoring the rights and needs of ordinary citizens, is jeopardizing its legitimacy. This is dangerous. When a citizenry no longer feels that it can find justice within the organs of power, when it feels that the organs of power are the enemies of freedom and economic advancement, it makes war on those organs. Those of us who are condemned as radicals, idealists and dreamers call for basic reforms that, if enacted, will make peaceful reform possible. But corporate capitalists, now unchecked by state power and dismissive of the popular will, do not see the fires they are igniting. The Supreme Court ruling on our challenge is one more signpost on the road to dystopia. 
He is hoping for a mass movement.  No, we'll get a strong man.  By definition, the USA is a fascist state, big business and big government are one.

Get used to it.
