Hitler's " Mein Kampf " and " Je suis Charlie Hebdo "
What really limits FREE SPEECH in this American society is class
rule. Long ago Karl Marx wrote : " the ruling ideas are the ideas of the
ruling class ". Just months ago in France capitalist " democracy " had a
FREE SPEECH love-in : " Je suis Charlie Hebdo ! " they all shouted. And
then -no doubt- they all-in the spirit of that rally- applauded the
publication of a new edition of Hitler's " Mein Kampf " in modern
Germany( highly annotated ).
Voltaire was quoted by some
participants in the FREE SPEECH circus: " I may not agree with what you
say but I will defend-to death- your right to say it."
And that is also the spirit of ALL free speech monitors in this " land of the free ".
But even old Ralph Nader is banned from presidential debates ! And
Socialism-what's that ? Just concentration camps and tyranny !
Comments that are courteous, concise and relevant are always welcome, whether or not they agree with the views expressed here or not. Profanity is not necessary. Thank you for reading “Time Enough At Last!”
