This is not true. The right suffers far more than the left from censorship. It’s telling you have to go back to WWI era to find a censored socialist. Since 1945, if not earlier, the left has controlled the Western unis & media. Ask @charlesmurray about free speech difficulties.https://twitter.com/WillShetterly/status/1044272825648009217 …

I'm trying to point out to the censorial wing of the left that if they support censorship, they'll be among its victims. I agree the right sometimes suffers too, but historically, they've been the ones who promote it.

The left is always pro-censorship, from the French Revolution to the Bolsheviks to today’s identity left. The right stands for freedom. The left supports free speech to the extent it can be used to seize power, then it squashes the right absolutely.

Are you confusing the right and left with libertarians and authoritarians? Both of the latter exist in both of the former. George Orwell is a fine example of a free speech socialist.

Left=believe equality possible and social good Right= believe equality impossible and inequality a social good. Free speech is incompatible with socialism, because socialism fails & the socialists have to punish people who point this out. Orwell was wrong.

Okay, life's too short to argue with people who make up political definitions to favor their side. Good luck to you.

That’s why you’re on the left, because you’re not interested in truth or reality.
