I don't support the silencing of any speech. I think it is important for those voices to be heard so those of us who disagree know what the 'enemy' (for lack of a better term) are thinking. I have wrote more than one paper in school on the basis that the KKK shouldn't be stopped from marching, etc just as I wouldn't stop the other side of the argument from marching as free speech is free speech. I just think they are moronic views to have but to each their own and I don't have to pay someone to speak them and obviously acting on those views through violence and active discrimination is where it steps over the line.
Also, it is social socialism I agree with - national healthcare, etc. I don't see what is wrong, in theory, of not letting people go without health care or food, etc.
This was a general point I was making and an honest question. I wasn't pointing the finger at anyone. |
