Fascism implies censorship, but censorship does not imply fascism.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoYou are correct that fascists aren't the only ones who censor. But that doesn't make it something that should be a normal part of a free, democratic society. (Your Soviet and CCP examples highlight that, which may have been your point.)
- goodfight 7y agoI said a step in the direction to fascism. I never asserted that censorship itself requires fascism. They usually come hand in hand though.
