Are you a Little Eichmann?

Not so long ago, I blogged about the concept of “Little Eichmanns" within the context of Hannah Arendt and Ward Churchill. I asked about turning it into an article and the response here was mixed. So, I contacted RMJ and tried it out as a conversation of sorts.

Here is the result

The geniuses at Daily Kos weigh in

My answer: Am I a Little Eichmann? I know some who would say yes. Since I’ve never earned enough money as a writer to avoid “real” work, I’ve worked as a personal trainer and kickboxing instructor. My clients, unavoidably, are wealthy...sometimes immensely wealthy. Thus, on Churchill’s Eichmann Scale, I am keeping these captains of industry healthy and fit enough to commit, or at least contribute to genocide.
