China has it for the working class. Capitalist speech and misinformation are targeted, but the working class is largely free to say what they want.

It doesn't exist, how is that hard to admit for you? Freedom of speech is intended to protect exactly the kind of speech you disagree with, otherwise it's not a thing. "Largely free" = NOT FREE

Then nowhere has freedom of speech. True freedom of speech only exists for the ruling class of society, and the speech of those other classes oppressed by them that agree with the ruling class. In the US Empire, freedom of speech only truly exists for capitalists. In the PRC, it's the opposite, it only exists for the working class, and those who do not oppose the working class.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
