Socialists used to talk like this; "Men fear thought
as they fear nothing
else on earth – more
than ruin, more
even than death.
Thought is subversive
and revolutionary,
destructive and terrible;
thought is merciless to
privilege, established
institutions, and
comfortable habits;"; - Bertrand Russell; Now the left's biggest fear now is independent
thinking. They label independent thought as
fascist, Nazi or hate speech.
