World Socialist Web Site condemns Google censorship

[ Google the letter from WSWS International Editorial Board Chairperson David North stated, was “engaged in political censorship of the Internet.”]

This is almost self-evident to any individual not soured on the free speech and free thought tradition - always on the defensive - in capitalist imperialist America but still a long tradition rightfully associated with much maligned ( by the pseudo-Left ) Western Civilization - which nourished both modern science, humanist religious thought , and Marxism.

               It is shocking how many neo-liberals are denying not absolute truth ( as in dogmatic religions ) but objective reality. We socialists cannot leave the criticism of public schools and " higher education " to right wing slanted scholarship.

              In Ivy League institutions -like Brown University - there is a virtual " Office of the Inquisition " to sniff out non-conformity in matters of political correctness and " identity politics " ( this prole writer has been BANNED ON THE BROWN DAILY HERALD )

      Rarely does one hear American college teachers say anything critical of the SYSTEM - of rotten capitalism and arrogant imperialism - as they did in the tumultuous 60s. The shadow government of the United States , the CIA, the FBI , pacified the campus pacifists , " radicals " , " free thinkers " way back in the Reagan era.

          You will not find one mainstream newspaper columnist passionately defending free speech rights for EVERYBODY .

      The World Socialist Web Site is doing just that . And deserves all the support it can get - moral and financial.
