Why do you think western countries would allow movements who oppose them to overthrow them? That's never been the case anywhere at any time. If communists started winning elections in a western country we'd immediately have soldiers turned on us, as has been the case every single time that's happened. There has never been a single case of socialists democratically winning power and then the liberal state simply bows to the whims of the masses, except maybe Czechoslovakia.

Venezuela, Bolivia, Chile, Greece, Germany, Italy. It keeps happening. Socialists who seek power through the accepted western channels of liberal elections quickly find themselves on the receiving ends of coups, spies, secret police, assassinations, or coordinated capitalists who organize fascist goons to recapture the state.

What exactly are you free to stand against? You're allowed to say words or post online and then do nothing else? Is that freedom to you?
