Is it still illegal to be a professed communist in the United States, as it was in the 1950s?
I wonder if there could be a law making it illegal to be a globalist, with carefully defined definitions of what that term means legally.
For example, to advocate that the United Nations should make laws that are valid in the United States, to spread false rumors about impending climate disasters that require economic dislocation to avoid, just being a general knob ...
I suppose we’ll have to put up with it as free speech but at the same time it is a dangerous conspiracy to reduce your own freedoms. A dilemma in other words.
Here in Canada we more or less openly embrace all these concepts, or at least my fellow citizens do, 80% of them perhaps. The United Nations is seen as a wonderful thing and climate change as proven science. They have also swallowed the twin self-debating truisms that all religions are equal and that Islam is harmless.
Yet Christianity is not harmless.
So I just sit waiting for heads to explode from cognitive dissonance.
There aren’t enough jails for all the idiots we have among us now, the cure is to convince enough low information voters to abandon official stupidity and vote with their brains actually functioning. Trump has done a good job of starting that process but I think a further necessary step will be replacing the Republican Party with a less compromised alternative, something like an American Freedom and Enterprise Party perhaps. I don’t think full-on libertarian politics is the answer, that’s just a different pathway to oblivion in a haze of toxic marijuana smoke.

It was never illegal to be a professed communist. The constitution prevents laws against “thoughtcrime”. It was illegal to be a subversive agent of a foreign government, or plotting sedition against the U.S., but simply adhering to an ideology can never be illegal unless some serious changes to the Constitution happen.
