"Karl Marx's views on free speech are complex and multifaceted. While he criticized censorship and advocated for limits on rights that entrench socio-economic hierarchies, he also rejected outright censorship as a means to suppress speech. Marx believed that free speech should be a foundational principle, as it supports human emancipation and the development of democratic societies. He argued that the suppression of speech often fuels the speaker's radicalization and further the spread of ideas, highlighting the importance of maintaining a space for diverse viewpoints in the pursuit of social justice and equality."

In the present day, Marxists wish to censor ALL people with whom they disagree.
