The continual harassment of socialist parties by the government, including declarations that any group following Marxist philosophy is necessarily acting towards an unconstitutional goal.
- em-bee 1y agobecause they are calling for a revolution, not reforms. revolution is an unconstitutional goal. if they believe that marxist philosophy can be achieved without a revolution they better ought to make that very clear. and to my knowledge the treatment of communists in the US was way worse.
- burnerthrow008 1y agoYes, well, calling for a revolution is protected speech in the United States. It is only if your words are likely to promptly cause someone to commit violence that you can be prosecuted for it.
- em-bee 1y agothere is a difference between individuals calling for a revolution and organized groups that have that in their program as a goal. the latter is not a theoretical threat but one that has historical precedent.
