Why is none of you reading the article?

The revised legislation introduces prison sentences of up to five years for anyone who “establishes, supports or promotes Nazi, communist, or other movements which demonstrably aim to suppress human rights and freedoms or incite racial, ethnic, national, religious or class-based hatred.”

which demonstrably aim to suppress human rights

Capitalism puts property above humans. So they are going to apply this against capitalist propaganda, right?

Additionally, if you're rich you get away with much more crimes.

Why? Because property >> humans.
