    Ooh, just wait til it becomes ‘not publishing or speaking about something that will get you labelled a communist and publicly shot’.

    That one is coming soon.

        It would be nice to get the communism whilst skipping the being shot step for a change.

          Alas, our chains are not so easily broken. Even the idea of doing so begets violent suppression. I wish it were possible but the last guy who accomplished a socialist state through electoralism got bombed and replaced by a fascist.

            Democracy is weak against fascism. That’s a lot of our current problem, and why democracies slip into fascism whilst moving towards socialism is harder.

            There are ways to fix that, but they require an educated populace. And that’s why fascists work so hard to keep us misinformed.
