It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The one indisputable reality of dictatorship is that dissent, insult, and malevolent language do not go unpunished if it is allowed at all.
Freedom of speech is always under attack by Fascist mentality, which exists in all parts of the world, unfortunately.
With true free speech has to come an understanding of when and when not to use it. But you can't legislate that. It must be voluntary - especially in a world where a whisper can reach a million people in an eye blink.
Free speech is one of the founding principles of our republic.
Free speech is the cornerstone to every right we have.
We have a war dictator who was not elected, he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way, or even say something he doesn't like. It has no resemblance to democracy.
Getting rid of the dictator is only a first step in establishing a free society. The dictatorship must also be disassembled.
Free speech rights means that government officials are barred from creating lists of approved and disapproved political ideas and then using the power of the state to enforce those preferences.
Once people sense their own power, no authoritarian government can stand against the people who are determined to be free.
Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law.
