The Left in general is showing a decades long contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.

As a follower of Chris Hedges on “ Truthdig “ I get more and more hints of Chris losing it. Just one hint of hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty- fatal to the reputation and usefulness of a serious writer, social critic , savior of the planet.
 A few years ago he had a friendly interview with “ Trotskyist “ charlatan David North , the permanent GREAT LEADER of North’s Socialist Equality Party on North’s well policed World Socialist Web Site. There is a YOU TUBE video of this interview.

 There is something very creepy about visible conceit and “ vanguard party “ hubris. The topic of the Chris Hedges-David North interview : FREE SPEECH protection on the Internet.

Sooner than later there is no dialogue with “ demagogues “ — like Chris Hedges and David North . I was just banned on “ Truthdig “ ( they are getting allergic to TRUTH ) . And more than a year ago I was banned on David North’s World Socialist Web Site . A democratic socialist myself I have opposed the Kafkaesque Trump impeachment circus( I am happy today Feb.6- that Trump was finally and inevitably acquitted ) . 

Yet after being — weirdly — smeared on David North’s WSWS as their “ resident Catholic, anti-Semite, fascist- I was banned there too.

The Left in general is showing a decades long contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.
