You are mistaken if you think I am opposed to freedom of speech. So, what is your point ? I don't see any arguments in there for making freedom of speech an absolute and dogmatic right, with no exceptions. Marx is not one, even in youth , for pronouncing absolute legal rights. All his generalizations are historically and class concrete. After WWII and the fascists, I am sure he would agree that there must be an exception to the general right of freedom of speech for fascistic racists, just like the Marxists in the socialist countries thought in applying Marx's dictatorship of the proletariat to that concrete historical situation.
It is not I who construes Marxism as a dogma.

Well, Charles, what do you make of this from a fellow named Karl Marx, which Angela posted here in June? Was this just a youthful indiscretion? There's a lot more of this at the Marx archive.
