Communism begins with censorship. It ends with blood.
So too, for that matter, does fascism.

Communism, fascism, it makes little difference.

While, as ideologies, they may present themselves as mild.

In practice they are both ruthless forms of authoritarianism.
Contrary to popular belief, horseshoe theory asserts that political ideologies do not exist on a linear continuum and that rather than opposite ends opposing one another, the more extreme the far-right and far-left become, the more they mirror one another in an analogous fashion.
Totalitarianism is totalitarianism.

Tyranny is tyranny.

It doesn't matter which end of the spectrum they fall on.

HAPPENING NOW IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE, THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW.

After 8 hours of peaceful protesting for the right to choice, the people had enough. @DanielAndrewsMP called in his goon squad & the police have turned weapons & tear gas on civilian workers.
For context: the jab has been mandated for the construction and trade industries, or these men are all faced with losing their jobs. The union which is supposed to represent them, CFMEU, has not defended their right to freedom of choice and sold them out.
Today hundreds of workers turned up to protest outside the CFMEU headquarters and to demand that the union, who they pay to represent them, come out and support them. The union boss, John Setka, claimed he would speak to them but refused to acknowledge their position.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AUSTRALIA - SYDNEY EDITION.

I've covered a lot from Victoria recently. This comes from Sydney.

This is the absolutely DISGRACEFUL tyrant thugs that @nswpolice have become.

The following thread outlines the story of a NURSING student, in her own words:
"My name is Natalia. I am a mother of 2 children from South Western Sydney. I have never been in trouble with the police, I have no criminal record.
I am a 3 year nursing student, but after being indecently assaulted by the NSW Police I am resigning in protest."
"In the video you are about to see I was simply walking in the park when male Riot Police tackled me to the ground, demanded I produce my documents and lifted up my skirt exposing my underwear and private parts.
I sustained injuries and bruising to my legs and parts of my body."
