What do you make of this?

Paranoid mc-carthyist strawmanning of the worst variety.

Freedom of Speech?
I wonder how they would explain the anti-communist witch hunts and subsequent show trials that took place against those in the media, industrial unions, etc etc around the middle of the centuary

I'm tempted to download this and make a disection of the comments.

I learned long ago that arguing on youtube isn't worth the stress,

example being both myself and Des argued with that OctoBox guy seperately, both got bored of him and told him to come here instead.

Youtube people are idiots, i.e. OctoBox: A college economic students who can state many facts about capitalist economics but who cannot debate, who wouldnt answer points but would make more new assertions when the old ones were destroyed, and who though communism was some kind of evil authoritarian thing beyond even the realms of Stalinism on a bad day.

Anyhoo i digress,

youtube arguing = pointless

youtube represents a large audience of politically floating people, so it's worth having an audible soapbox there.
