    Yes but not in it's current form, it should be used to stop messages of raceism,nationalism and all other things that are counter revolutionary.

    Today in America the FCC thinks that for some reason if little timmy sees grafic images of people being ripped apart by zombies it's all cool but if he hears "fuck" once he will be traumatized for life.

    If it stamps on a particular group of people's emotions/rights or is potentially harmful, then yeah. Problem is, some knobend will always come along and point out a contradiction in your opinion on censorship ("if you're against --- then why should --- be allowed to ---?!").

    Boobs, vaginas and willies: no (unless it's blatantly pornographic)
    Swearing: no
    Violence/gore: depends on how extreme it is

    These are the biggest ones generally, and you can see how it's hard to define specifically what should and shouldn't be censored.

    I don't know, but I was recently reading that Washington Post article on bankers whining inconsolably about not being able afford the matching set of yachts they wanted or whatever because of budget cuts, and it occured to me that it would be a shame not to give them such a venue after a revolution in which we take all their shit. I certainly don't want to miss those lulz.

    In favor of censoring racism nationalism sexism and most internet meme's especially pony's.

    Its greatly amusing to compare the death race 2000.

    with its modern remake

    The remake is much more violent but it does not have so much nudity in it so its far more acceptable to show.

    The American prudeness in movies is baffling when you look at the tolerance for violence along with the commodification of women.
    Yes nakedness then can be considered commodification too but the implied sexism today is something i would consider worse then just having some naked women on screen.

    I do not support censorship, except for reactionaries, nazi's and anti-feminists, pornography and hate speech.
    For some of them I would be lenient after the revolution, such as having them go through re educational programs. Nazi's, no. Hang 'em higher!

    It depends on what kind of pornography. If it is exploitative towards women, yes I would.

    I support free speech in any and all cases barring defamation (i.e. intentionally lying with intent to damage the reputation of some individual or group). The Luxemburgist in me considers this self-evident.

    Th Luxemburgist in me considers it self-evident that snuff-movies and images of children being tortured for the sexual gratification of others shouldn't be part of our culture even after the revolution.

    I'm sure you'd disagree.

    Ugh, pathetic how people feel their opinion is so superior they have the right to censor other's.

    Yes but not in it's current form, it should be used to stop messages of raceism,nationalism and all other things that are counter revolutionary.
    In practice this means everything except Marxist-Leninism will be banned.

    If it stamps on a particular group of people's emotions/rights or is potentially harmful, then yeah.
    "people's emotions"? Really? Fuck them. You take offense, so the problem lies with you. Grow a thicker skin.

    I do not support censorship, except for reactionaries, nazi's and anti-feminists, pornography and hate speech.
    For some of them I would be lenient after the revolution, such as having them go through re educational programs. Nazi's, no. Hang 'em higher!
    Oh wow. "I do not support censorship, but I want to increase the amount of censorship significantly anyways". Yep, you want to censor more than is currently censored in the Western world and many other countries, yet you claim to be against censorship? Basically, people like you would ban the majority of people of free speech. Censor anti-feminism? The majority of people I meet on the internet is anti-feminist. Reactionaries? That's everyone who does not agree with you, broadly.

    re educational programs
    That is not scary at all. Nazis want to do the same with you. Now tell me, how long would it take for you to give up your ideals in favour of nazism in a re-educational camp? What? You mean you don't just give up your beliefs if you are imprisoned and the prison ward says what you need to believe?

    That is such a joke.

    If we are actually talking about rape porn, maybe we could say if it's not exploitative/degrading towards PEOPLE. Guys get tied up and butt-fucked by dominatrixes in leather and have their balls abused, just in case we forget this. Sure, it may be more common in porn targeted towards males, but I'm sick of this "women are so precious and we should forget about men" crap.

    That's stupid. Rape porn is a victimless act. What's next, banning rape fantasy in the bedroom of private individuals? You do realise that rape porn also includes the act of men being abused by women? If a woman likes and is sexually excited by the idea of a consensual rape fantasy, you want to take that freedom away from her? (same for men).
