Titolo: Antirazzismo?

L'articolo qua sotto (in inglese) spiega,in due parole, perche',
sebbene odii con tutte le mie forze fascisti e nazisti, alla fine
sono del tutto opposto a proibire forza nuova e altri gruppi che
incitano all'odio.
Non tanto per rispetto al diritto astratto di organizzarsi e di
esprimersi, quanto al timore concreto che una volta proibiti
i nazisti, lo stato usera' spesso e volentieri le leggi antirazziste
contro chiunque gli riesca comodo proibire.
I precedenti non mancano:  Dino Frisullo, il pacifista Italiano
arrestato in Turchia, fu accusato dalle autorita' Turche di
"incitamento all'odio razziale" perche' manifestava a favore
del Kurdistan.
Dare poteri allo stato di reprimere la gente a causa delle proprie
idee e' sempre pericoloso.    Chi si definisce di sinistra lo dovrebbe
capire per primo.

British protester charged with racist abuse for dragging US flag on
ground
By Severin Carrell
20 February 2001
An anti-nuclear protester has been charged with racial abuse against
the American people after she allegedly dragged a United States flag
along the ground during a demonstration against the Star Wars missile
defence system.
In an unprecedented case, the Crown Prosecution Service has accused
Lindis Percy of being motivated by racist hatred of the American
people when she "trailed" the US flag on the road at the US military
eavesdropping base at Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire.
At a pre-trial hearing atHarrogate magistrates' court yesterday, the
prosecution claimed this offence, which carries a £2,500 fine, caused
"harassment, alarm and distress" to US personnel driving out of the
base during the demonstration last December. It is thought to be the
first time the new anti-racism powers introduced under the Crime and
Disorder Act 1998 have been used in this way.
The demonstration, staged to coincide with the confirmation that
George Bush was officially president-elect, was called to protest
against Mr Bush's expected support for "son of Star Wars", the
controversial ballistic missile defence system planned by the US.
Ms Percy, 59, a health visitor from Hull, was initially charged with
obstruction of the highway, as was another senior member of the
Campaign for Accountability of American Bases, Anni Rainbow.
The CPS added the racial abuse charges after its lawyers studied CCTV
footage from the base's security cameras. The flag, which has "Stop
Star Wars" painted on it, has not been confiscated.
Ms Percy is alleged to have draped the flag across the road at the
gates to the USbase. It was driven over by a member of the American
Legion, a staunchly patriotic ex-servicemen's association based at
Menwith Hill.
In the United States, ex-servicemen's groups and politicians have
campaigned for desecration of the flag to be made a federal offence.
The trial of Ms Percy, a veteran anti-nuclear campaigner, has been set
for late April.

Bravo Torrieri, con l'aria che tira credo che il tuo post sia più che
opportuno.

Hai
sicuramente ragione: "dare poteri allo stato di reprimere la gente a causa
delle proprie
idee e' sempre pericoloso" e sicuramente voi comunisti lo
capite benissimo visto che in tutte le nazioni in cui avete comandato non
avete fatto altro che mandare la gente in carcere ed ospedali psichiatrici
a causa delle proprie idee...
