Free Speech?
Let's wander back in time just a bit, and remember when some of the few conservative students at U of C Berkeley planned to hold a Free Speech Week which would include speakers from both the left and right. They got together for a practice session and guess who showed up? Why, Antifa, of course. Did they come with gifts? No, they came with pipes, and bats, and smoke bombs. Did the mayor, a liberal Democrat, condemn the fracas caused by Antifa? He only supports free speech when the left wants to rant, so he finally became aware that there was violence, so instead of condemning Antifa, he suggested canceling the event in order to prevent violence. That made the Democrats happy. Not so much the case with conservatives. And guess who else will have their rights to free speech curtailed? Any one on the right and any speakers whose subject is not approved by --who? Who are on the unapproved list? Here are a couple of examples: Christians because pro religion groups are not welcome, Pro Israel advocates, because they're a democracy. in the Middle East The Founders would be amazed as to what passes for free speech at a major university. The new Democrat paradigm is that free speech is hate speech. This means that if your adversaries (Anyone on the right) express their viewpoint it is hate speech, the brain dead millennial snowflakes and the students who have been well taught by the radical left to have contempt for America's founding documents will be right there with bats and clubs. So don't be flabbergasted if when they are polled they actually are opposed to free speech.
As some look to a supine clergy for they find for the most part a disgrace of people managing to stay upright without a spine. They can look to the DOJ, the FBI, and high ranking officials only to find that they are well below the water level in the swamp which hides and covers up any exposure of their improper acts and the reality that if we're not yet a failed state, we're getting damn close.

New thought~maybe Karl Marx never attacked free speech. Not worth researching. Me dino got other stuff to do.
May I point out that Marx only provided an ideological framework for the communism. He never had even remotely the power to implement it. It is Lenin, Stalin, Tito, Mao, Pot et al. who were ruling communists. I lived for 18 years under one of them. The consequences for saying anything disparaging ranged from expulsion from school, not being allowed to go to college, loosing the job, jail and sent to an island prison (known as Naked Island) to manually brake limestone rocks into pebbles.
EDIT: corrected misspelling
That's kinda what I was thinking about Karl Marx.
I do know Marx was living under the rule of German royalty spanning the 1800's when he lived. (Unless he moved elsewhere. I dunno!).
Shortly after winning the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, Prussia unified all the German duchies and whatever into an empire ruled by a couple of Kaisers until losing World War One, that turning how Germany would be ruled from then on upside-down.
I relearned all that high school history researching for a novel that takes place in 1914 Belgium.

Atticus Finch is a hero right up there with the Randians. The scene where he shoots the dog (in the movie) takes off his glasses and throws them aside, is one of the high points for me.
I like the term and use it as often as possible.
So if communism is red fascism, then the belief system of, say, Obama can be called "pink fascism."
If so, or if not, what is your definition of "right"?
Thank you.
