    They'll throw leftists in prison, or worse, for organizing. With or witout free speech protections. Freedom of speech is a meaningless concept.

      no, they'll throw leftists in prison for causing a ruckus and doing crime. liberal conceptions of free speech have their limitations and conditions, but it is a bona fide part of the ruling ideology. The posting class on both the right and the left evidently cannot conceive of what it would actually be like if their politics were outlawed, like with actual death squads. Not only would Fred Hampton have been assassinated in his bed, the Panthers would never have existed at all.
