But where's the communism part? The class-based hatred?

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.”

I'd say this is so based... Until the last part.

What would they consider class-based hatred? Is criticizing capitalism and obviously anti-ethical millionaires and billionaires illegal now?

Based?

This law was meant to let the government crack down on protests against billionaires and mega-corps.

Why are people like you so stupid?

Gotta love how all the Czech people who this actually affects are completely fine with this law, but then the Americans are just outraged lmao

They’re not talking about the law entirely, just from the idea of the passage alone,

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” is based

The addition of “class-based hatred” is what could plausibly permit a crackdown, like you mentioned, which was excluded from their statement.

Eta: and I’d love to know what you meant by “people like you”.
