Why aren't you all Communists?

[cardgame]

The same way Holocaust Denial is illegal. Shut down every single communist organization, such as every political party that openly calls itself communist. Every time someone goes on TV and says they support communism, have them arrested. Ban 'Marxist theory' from universities. Ban communist leaflets and propaganda machines.

The commies also treated the Nazis very badly. The commies were bad to all of eastern Europe, and they raped and pillaged and murdered throughout Germany, even with civilians. Granted I understand why they were upset, but don't pretend the commies are so innocent.

Dachau, one of the first Nazi concentration camps, opened in March 1933

I'm not saying the commies should be killed or tortured or starved. They just need to serve their time, like the rest of the criminals. For the record, I think supporting Nazi ideology should also land you prison time.

What about being fundamentally opposed to the first amendment to the Constitution, the supreme law of the land?

For somebody who so stridently opposes totalitarianism, you're very keen on putting people in prison for having the wrong opinion.

Let me ask you this: Do you think Holocaust deniers deserve to go to jail?

 

[cardgame]

Let's just save time and jail everyone but one political party.

No, at least if you want to respect freedom of thought and freedom of expression.

I do not think that Holocaust deniers deserve to go to jail, no.

A scaffold would be more effective

Holocaust deniers should go to jail, for excursion.

In this case we respectfully disagree. Each to their own.

then we should consentrate the communists into special encampments

Maybe make them work hard in those encampments. To teach them that work sets you free. You could even put that on a sign at the camp's entrance.

Do I still have to go to communist jail?

 

[caketastydelish]

Only the most glorious cell of them all, comrade! For mother Russia!

By scaffold, do you mean gibbet?

All cells are equal, but some are more equal than others.

I've heard Al Capone actually had a very luxurious cell. Ironically he only went to jail for cheating on his taxes, even though everybody knows he did things 100 times worse than that 100 other times. That's all they could prove.

If Al Capone can have a fancy jail cell, we can definitely spare you one.
