True or Not?

he's nuts, a cultural marxist.

Anyway, nah, not unless one is a dog living in a pack of dogs. There are moral and ethical standards by which civilization requires so to function.

I know he's a Marxist. So are you saying what he is saying concerning freedom of speech is wrong?

Shell game? speech vs expression may not always be similar.
But even with speech, not everything is lawful, nor should be.

Daywolf is because it isn't a general use of expression as expression, but conditioned which negates general expression.

Chomsky is right. It's similar to how one may not agree with the KKK, but does support their right to express their views.

So are you trying to say that "expression" is not protected by the US constitution?

I support the right to loudly disagree with the KKK. If this drowns out their message, so be it.

I don't support the government silencing the KKK.
