    I think you'd be surprised. I have family in Paris who have steadily become more and more reactionary as the FN (the French far-right) have been given more exposure, even before these attacks. And it's not an "opposing viewpo

    As a communist, I'll give you my point of view. To reiterate: I am a communist, not a troll, and this is really what I think. I think that "free speech" as meant by liberals is harmful. I don't believe that oppressive sp
