You can't gulag comrade Stalin, that is counterrevolutionary and fascist!
Sure I can, if stalin is insufficiently stalinist.
Comrade Stalin, if only you'd followed Comrade Stalin, you'd still be alive.

Torra’s an anarchist, mate.

Lol, imagine being this fucking stuck on ideology that you can't possibly see nuance in a fucking massive ideological group that encompasses half of the entirety of the political spectrum lmao.

Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. The majoirty of Marxist-Leninists call themselves Marxist-Leninists. I've met plenty of Socialists who claimed to support liberty, and when push came to shove, proved themselves truthful. Torra is one of them. Judge people based on what they're saying, not based on labels or associations.

So? Most forms of communism supposedly seek the abolition of the state.

Marxists seek the eventual abolition of the state by making the state larger, more regimented, less democratic and more authoritarian. Torra does not.

That's a simplification of a very complicated issue.
That said, we all might be a bit off topic.

No, but you can invade anyone who follows it, lock up its leaders, and ban it from having any political influence whatsoever. You can't kill an ideology, but you can hurt it so badly that you knock it into a 70-year coma.
The American Empire is a socially progressive absolute monarchy run by the heirs of Emperor Norton. It started off at MT but has rapidly advanced to PMT through interdimensional travel. All NSstats are used, except for tax rate and population. Factbooks are currently under reconstruction.

Fascists are opposed to free speech and they only complain about their free speech being taken away because it's good PR.

That's one theoretical approach used by some Marxists. Honestly though it's not been at all the prevailing view in the field. Much more common, in my experience, is the view that anti-democratic actions are fundamentally counterrevolutionary.

The whole point with Socialism is overturning the political control of a minority (the Bourgeoisie) and replacing it with the that of the majority (the Proletariat). Majority rule sounds pretty democratic to me.

Fascism is a Reactionary response to this, at its core. A section of the Bourgeoisie doing away with Liberal draperies and deceiving a substantial enough mass of the population with a falsely constructed hierarchy that satisfies (at least in part, at least at first) the desire for liberation, without actually granting it; it's a conjuring trick, and the death rattle of Capitalism in free-fall.

Given Fascism's well-documented and inevitable oppressive violence, the prolificity of extremely deadly weapons (ie. Nukes, but not just Nukes), and its irrational desire to destroy what it cannot possess (eg. Hitler's desire to destroy everything as Germany was pushed back), it seems likely that, if not nipped in the bud, Fascism will wreak terrible damage upon the world and its people.

This must not happen.

I'm well aware, and if all they did was believe in their hearts that free speech is bad then I wouldn't care and I doubt anyone else would either. But fascists seeking power, and seeking to build fascism, are people seeking to do away with free speech. And also many other very bad things, but my point is that keeping people from doing a fascism protects free speech in general.
