Socialism is Dead, Long Live Socialism EU proposal would ban socialist symbolsHow does a state banning the symbols of another state promote liberty? It seems to me that such a ban only increases the power of a state, precisely the opposite of the stated intention of divorcing the EU from the history of state-mandated slaughter within its members. If the EU really cared about preventing future atrocities, why don't they ban the national socialist policies that preceded the original slaughter? A governmental ban sounds, to me, like the hypocrisy of the statement, "Socialism is dead; long live socialism." |
