Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

I'm disappointed you would post this, but I'm more worried about the people who subscribe to socialism and would upvote this kind of sentiment.
So? They're insane but they still have a constitutional right to free speech.
They aren't being blocked from speaking.
The first amendment doesn't exist to prevent editorial censorship. It has nothing to do with "cancel culture."
It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. It has been interpreted by centuries of court decisions to protect against exactly this - harassment and prosecution by government agents for engaging in protected speech, especially political protest.
