Topic: Censorship under fascist regimes


  
 Censorship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Censorship of some forms of sensitive information, such as commercial secrets and intellectual property, official secrets, and legal privilege, are not usually described as censorship, provided that they remain within bounds which are recognised in general as being reasonable.
Censorship is closely tied in as a concept with freedom of speech and other forms of human expression, and when tightly exerted is often allied with human rights and abuse, dictatorships and repression.
Censorship can be explicit, as in laws passed to prevent select positions from being published or propagated, or it can be implicit, taking the form of intimidation by government, where people are afraid to express or support certain opinions for fear of losing their jobs, their position in society, their credibility, or their lives.

 Roasting Wieners at the Pier, by Joe Vecchio - Democratic Underground
In May of last year, before the 2002 elections and before we began talking about bombing Iraq, I wrote an article called Waiting For The River To Catch Fire where I talked about how Americans tended to wait until the last minute to fix things if they got out of hand.
At the time, I would have thought the events of the 2000 elections would have been enough to get people motivated, and I was hoping that the 2002 midterm elections would go against the Bush regime, giving them some serious opposition and forcing them to be less arrogant and more responsible.
I won't go into the details, but basically when he brought up similarities between what we're doing and Nazi Germany any further arguments were immediately dismissed, because the idea of that sort of thing happening here in the United States of America is unthinkable.
