Chris Hedges, Common Dreams
Is this the résumé of a human rights advocate in the United States? Are
human rights organizations supposed to further the agenda of the state
rather than defend its victims? Are the ideas of “humanitarian
interventionists” compatible with human rights? Are writers and artists
no longer concerned with the plight of all dissidents, freedom of
expression and the excesses of state power? Are we nothing more than
puppets of the elite? Aren’t we supposed to be in perpetual, voluntary
alienation from all forms of power? Isn’t power, from a human rights
perspective, the problem?
