DS In my country, it's a crime wearing a swastika, saying the holocaust never existed, or being pro-Hitler. Isn't that the case in the USA? (just a question, not meant ironic, to clear out misunderstandings)

How about the Communist Party? They were a bunch of murderers under Stalin, etc., and still are today in the Asian countries rukes by Communism.
And if we ban the Communists, we might as well outlaw the Socialist Party, too. After all, they're awfully close to being Communists.
Then we could do the Liberal party next. Aren't they almost like Socialists?
And after we take care of the Liberals, let's outlaw the Democrats.
Socialists are not so close to communists as you think. Socialist want a rather strong state, while the dream of communists is no state at all.
Socialists and liberals are also not so very close. Liberals want less social security, and less state. They want the economy to lead itself, and they want the state not to intervene in the economy. That's the definition of liberalism.
However, liberals are always pro-humanism, and thus when it comes to ethics, liberals and socialists are kinda close.
Then everyone wonders why this country is becoming a crazy place with no morals in it.
People have been saying for 10000 years that morals are diminishing. Why would it be true now?
