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

And it fits a pattern of pressure being applied to local newsrooms. One recent example is the 2019 police raid of the home of Bryan Carmody, a freelance journalist in San Francisco, who was reporting on the death of Jeff Adachi, a longtime public defender.”
