We've already got it in Poland and it's been so far a dead law, however the govt is ramping up to delegalize the smallest completely powerless and toothless communist party

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

I would've thought this would've been already on the books since the 90s
I guess the fact that a lot of older generation folks who viewed the USSR favourably in post-Soviet states made such a law unfeasible in the past.
Now that that generation is starting to die off, combined with current geopolitical tensions between NATO/ EU and Russia, and Ukraine basically leading the charge with their 'de-communization' policies (which explicitly tied Communism with anything Russian) after the maidan coup, is why other post-Soviet states are doing it now.
I guess you’re about to see a lot of vaguely left leaning ideas get banned as promotion of communism now.
Just like Ukraine banning even cringe useless succdems.
Yep, that's what EU/NATO "democracy" looks like in practice...
Nazi country does nazi things. Anyway, communism and communists aren't going anywhere. We've operated under dictatorships before and we'll do so until communism is a global reality and fashies can cope and seeth over it. Improvise, adapt and overcome everything.
Central Europe continues to poke me right in my “worried that the bad guys actually won WWII” spot. It’s tender and I wish they’d leave it alone.
in a war between imperialist powers of course the bad guys won
The good guys won too, but the bad guys killed them afterward. 
Do you mean The Cold War 🤔?
No. They mean ww2. Just as in, for example, the US civil war, the "Bad guys" may have lost militarily but they won the peace.
boy I'm glad I live in the free and democratic west where we have freedom of speech oh wiat
"Heh, don't you know about the paradox of tolerance? Commies are intolerant of capitalists and nazis, so they're horrible people who should be in prison for disrupting society!"
I agree, we can start by refusing to tolerate Karl Popper and his shitty ideas
Democracy dies in liberalization
No, don’t you understand? The marketplace of free ideas needs a lot of controls on it to ensure the correct ideas bubble to the top.
I love freedom of speech!
Don't worry Libs can just post Chomsky talking about the Paradox of Tolerance and never think about it again.
we should criminalize the promotion of Czechia
also change the name back, Czech republic was better than Czechia
I propose changing the name all the way back to Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
also change the name back
Correct, it should be called Czechoslovakia.
Sure and let’s make Ukrainorussia..
We had that, it was called "the USSR".
Jokes aside, Czechoslovakia was dissolved undemocratically and opinion polling at the time showed that citizens were not in favor of the split.
they scared
Will this ever even be mentioned by rightist free speech champions?
Free Speech champions are often the people working in anti-communist NGOs, who have a more luxurious lifestyle than that of many Americans. Technically it's not bribery that they get paid 10x the salary of the average worker in the country.
Will work also set the prisoners free?
What do you think this is? The Soviet Union? No that's communist (bad)
counting two working days equal to three days of the sentence

But suuuuure, that’s what they get for being the bad authoritians! Why can’t they be like the heckin’ wholesome GOOD authoritarians who also believed in no human rights and totalitarianism! But their ideas are popular so they’re ok, the leopards won’t eat my face THIS TIME!
:yea: they really hate people up in the mountains they're the only ones still doing it really
i'm still wondering, is supporting dubcek in prague spring communist propaganda or not? is it propaganda to support him in the 90s? can you recast your communist program as "this is what dubcek would have wanted" without changing a thing?
(because i frequently see czech politicians whining about prague spring, so i can only assume they support the values of socialist coops, socialized planning and independen unions ignoring state dictates)
Ah so it starts.
