^^^^^^^^^ CB: The idea is that freedom of speech is not absolute, and that in a socialist country one of the limitations on freedom of speech is a prohibition on organizing the restoration of capitalism. It is a hierarchy of values and laws. Where the principles of free speech and socialism are in conflict , the principle of socialism takes precedence.
In fact, the American generation that passed the First Amendment did not tolerate freedom of speech to organize the restoration of monarchy.
