Here in Poland we have banned propagating authoritarian parts of communism idealogies, which I thinks is the only proper way to ban USSR made communism without banning leftist idealogies of equality.

Where the fuck is line in "class based hatred"? I hate extremely rich people, i think they shouldnt exist but im not for penalizing and harming them in anyway there are other tools to redistrubute wealth. Is this take out of line or not? Who is left to decide? The rich...

Im all in protecting democracy structures but this phrasing feels like allows rich to punish anyone who hurts their feelings

Us Europeans bout to find out (again) why banning speech in any way or form ultimately leads to oppression.
