    “A lot” is the answer to your question. But communism is not one of the things we’re having to deal with at the moment. Quite the opposite in fact.

        Maybe do your research first before claiming to know something. Communism at it’s core is when no private property exist and basically everything is “owned” by the whole community equally. Hence the name communism. Censorship has nothing to do with that. It just so happens every state which was “communistic” (none of these really were communistic) had strong censorship. This is what we call correlation. What you mean is causality which means there is proof the two observation are directly linked.

        It’s characteristic of all forms of totalitarian leadership. The communism/UK comparison is wrong because we don’t have a ruling party that shares any of the main traits of communism.

    What’s wrong is that the Tory government has been in power for over a decade and thinks they can get away with increasingly authoritarian legislation like this
