Ted Rall: We All Love (Our) Free Speech

Ted Rall writes that We All Love (Our) Free Speech.

Controversies over free speech on college campuses and othe place serve to remind us that free speech is in the eye of the beholder, and that people tend to disrespect expression they disagree with. The thing is, however, free speech really is a suicide pact. We're either all in it together or not at all.

Emphasis Mine

Free speech is essential for a Democracy and, more so, for a Communist society.

The question then becomes do Capitalists have free speech in a Communist society? The simple answer would be "Yes".

Ideally, Capitalists would no longer exist in a Communist society, but the practicalities would suggest that the Capitalists would maintain a marginal existence. They would serve as a reminder of why we should not return to a Capitalist society.
