When
we speak on freedom of speech, we love it unconditionally. Freedom of
speech does two things, it benefits the workers, and, as an opposite
effect, it halts progress and keeps us in the dark ages. So let's
fully detail these two effects.
When
it comes to the benefiting of the working class, freedom of speech
can protect the working peoples right to call for action, or demand
better treatment. Freedom of speech can even open the political
platform for working individuals to expose politicians bias and
warmongering. It can even protect workers ability to call for
unionization without silence.
However,
the opposite effect is it protects bias, ignorance and
discrimination. How do you think, after years of cultural
advancement, fact checking, and truth being told that we still have
racists, sexists, and so on. It's because freedom of speech protects
those individuals so they can speak their toxic message to young
minds, allowing those young generations to go up just like them, and
pass it on to other young people. As an example, FOX News got caught
for lying back in 2003, and they claimed freedom of speech, and got
away with it. Since then, mainstream media has been allowed to lie
and misinform the people for years with no reprimanding. Politicususa
reported that 60% of FOX news “facts” are actually lies. Not just
that, but it allows individuals, mainly politicians, to use fear
tactics and warmongering to promote killing or hatred.
When
people talk about communists, saying they want to take freedom of
speech away to oppress and control the population, that's a giant
lie. What communists do want to do, is silence the bias and end the
discrimination. To promote hate and death makes you a horrible
individual, and every rational minded individual will agree. To
plague the mind of a young child with toxic influence such as hating
your fellow brothers and sisters, even possibly kill them, to us,
should make you a child abuser. Communists only have an issue with
freedom of speech because it protects the worse influence to be
spread to many people. Even under socialist societies civilians was
and are allowed to criticize policies from government, speak on many
issues, etc. The only thing socialist societies restricted was
discrimination and bias. Even socialist East Germany was allowed to
make jokes that was boarder line anti-government. To advance the
population as a whole in the workers state, discrimination and bias
must be silenced while scientific fact and truth is promoted
throughout the state both in education and public.
I find myself disagreeing with this. I believe free speech should be unconditional, because for any other alternative, censorship becomes acceptable. Yes, bigotry and hatred is fueled by speech, but so is revolutionary rhetoric. We must allow equal protection of free speech among all. The communist revolution will purge much of hatred of capitalist society.
