This is not proof for anything. Fascism was a new ideology which hadn't discredited itself yet, and the conditions of the early 20th century were predisposed to it. The same is nowhere true today. By that logic you'd support American interventiknism, because many of the regimes the U.S toppled were not that much different from fascist. It is telling how much the left has a tankie problem, just as the right has an ethno-nationalist problem, when they throw out traditional leftist ideals for authoritarianism.
I will stick to Chomsky's much more nuanced and principled view, than follow stalinist tactics of suppressing speech. |
So, you oppose the suppression of any speech, no matter what it is? Even hate speech? Calls for genocide should be allowed to be said? They don't say hate speech like that for the fun of it, they want people to follow their doctrine and act upon those beliefs. It'll cause much less harm, death and destruction stopping the hate speech in the first place instead of letting it fester and then having to deal with it when they're already heavily armed and aggressive.
