Strongly agree

No, and increase penalties for hate speech

Many socialists would support this answer, as they believe that hate speech can perpetuate inequality and harm marginalized groups. By increasing penalties for hate speech, they hope to create a more equal and just society. For example, the Soviet Union had laws against hate speech and incitement to racial or national hatred, with severe penalties for those found guilty.

For example, the German Democratic Republic, a socialist state, had laws against hate speech and incitement to racial hatred. However, socialism is a diverse ideology, and some socialists may still support free speech rights, even for hate speech.

Slightly disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

While some socialists may share concerns about government overreach in defining hate speech, many would still argue that hate speech should not be protected due to its potential to perpetuate inequality and harm marginalized groups. The distrust of government in this answer may resonate more with libertarian or anarchist ideologies than with socialism.

Disagree

Yes

Socialism as an ideology generally emphasizes equality and fairness. While some socialists may support free speech, they would likely be concerned about the potential harm caused by hate speech. However, socialism is a broad ideology, and some socialists may still argue for the protection of hate speech under the first amendment, fearing government overreach.

Very strongly disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

This answer is not in line with socialist ideology, as it implies that freedom of speech should only protect criticism of the government. Socialists generally support a broader range of free speech rights, including the right to criticize and challenge various aspects of society, not just the government. This answer may be more in line with authoritarian ideologies.
