I think we can all agree that words can have a real effect on people, and therefore harmful words can have a harmful effect on people. Hate speech is the first step to systemic oppression. The holocaust would not have happened if the Nazis weren't given a platform. This is all common sense.

How, then, should freedom of speech be limited?

reddit pls go.

Hate speech a symptom of systematic oppression.

It's not like we just sat down and decided that we hated women or black people and THEN decided to opress them.

No. Racism was slowly bred into the population as a means to legitimize slavery after the system itself had been established.

Non whites should have their speech rights reduced, they are closer to animals than true humans like us Aryans.

Do you let a mad dog bark all day and destroy its vocal chords, or do you muzzle it?

Then they would have forcibly taken one you fucking moron

No, private ownership of the means of production is.


Sure. Smash the fash.

Limiting speech is the standard liberal "If we can't see it, it doesn't exist" approach to literally anything

And liberals need to get fucking slaughtered

100% this. This is accurate materialist analysis. Anything less is idealism.

...

"Liberalism is like, uhm, totally, about people abusing their freedom of speech, and stuff. That's the part we should care about, not the actual capitalism."

Any good leftist can (and should) care about more than one thing at a time.

POLINTELPROPOLINTELPROPOLINTELPRO

laws against violent threaths and defamation of individuals are the only restrictions in freedom of speech that should exists tbh

Yeah but caring about taking speech away accordng to the neoliberal narrative only for the same repressive powers to be handed over to the right when the pendulum swings is ridiculously retarded, and your theoretical foundation is utter garbage which happens to get crushed every time you try and defend it when you don't have a mod team on your side, you larping fucking idiots.

Tone down the ableism, please.

Fuck off r/socialism.
If you can't handle people saying 'retarded, dumb, stupid, mongoloid, bitch, cunt', then you will never lead a revolution.

You're right,some words really are bad.
Like,for example,your post.It's utter shit.
I hope it gets deleted and your free speech limited for the greater good :^)

...

No, and lurkmoar. I'm not here to be politically correct or to watch what I or others say. I have to do that enough everywhere else, fuck off.

No, because it really doesn't change anything at all.
Porky's gonna pork and workers will toil and toil their lives away fill dishonored graves.
But it's ok, because your feefees is your number one topic right now isn't it? And when you got your restricted speech you fuck off never to be heard again until people realise how utterly retarded it is and revoke it.
