Scalia is not endorsing suppression of speech here; he is saying that suppression of free speech works to the advantage of socialists.

You’re correct. Which is why Scalia opposes the finance limits, because he knows that they favour the incumbents. Imagine a war where you have to attack an entrenched enemy and being told that you have to limit yourself to the same number of troops as the enemy. When you are attacking an established opponent you need even more resources to overcome the natural advantages of incumbency.

I shouldn't try to comprehend/analyze things at 2:00 AM in the morning. :)
