Revision as of 19:32, 18 November 2023
Like free markets, freedom of speech is a bourgeois idealist concept completely detached from reality. The concept posits that people are free to say whatever they want. At a basic level, such as yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater, free speech has never existed. Throughout all of human history, limits have existed on publicly acceptable speech. Note that free speech is different from free criticism.
Under feudalism
During much of the feudal era, denouncing monarchy and the divine right of kings was an illegal act subject to severe punishment, sometimes even death.
Under capitalism
Some feudal laws still have remnants in England, Thailand and other parts of the world. Likewise, such laws existed in slave societies and exist today in capitalist and socialist countries.
Unlike what capitalists claim, there is limited freedom of speech in capitalist countries.
Police in the United States frequently raid and destroy press companies and reporters for going against the grain of the Statesian MICIMATT system.[1][2]
Under socialism
