       Nikola, I actually think that even laws against Holocaust denial
       are counterproductive. It just makes deniers go underground, and
       it convinces them that there are no good arguments proving that
       the Holocaust ever took place, since otherwise, the other side
       would use arguments, rather than legal restrictions.
       As I see it, if you're going to restrict free speech, you need
       to have very compelling reasons for doing so. Credible threats
       and incitement to violence should be unacceptable. The same goes
       for slander against individuals. But if someone's merely
       misrepresenting history, then let him (or her). Use reasoned
       arguments to defeat him.

       I get your point but we're not talking just about some crazy guy
       shouting something on the street. If you allow it, you'll get
       books written about it, quoted in other books, real numbers
       slowly changing, people will start saying "different sources
       quote different numbers" and "it's a matter of perspective" but
       the thing is it isn't.
       I wouldn't want to see this over-used but I think in the case of
       millions of victims and movements that operate on the principle
       of violent seizure of power and killing those who disagree,
       which, in my opinion, isn't too far from "credible threats and
       incitement to violence", I don't have a problem with it.

       Nikola, there is nothing wrong with being a socialist, believing
       in universal socialism and the decay and elimination of
       capitalism. I’m sure that is legal in the Czech Republic to at
       least believe that and write about it. As well as form political
       parties surrounding it. Reading books by socialist writers like
       Angela Davis must be legal in Tschechien.
       Socialism is coming anyway, like any part of social betterment
       and change.
