      Socialism is as stiflingly suffocating of individual liberty as fascism. You can take our policies, but you will never take our freedom!

      Which individual liberty do socialists suffocate as stiflingly as, say, the actual literal Holocaust? Serious question.

      Also, not a great history of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of association under socialist regimes. Stiflingly suffocating

      I see you abandoned your "just as stifling" thesis at least.
