>These guys all pushed the situation towards a point of no return for the communists

Ah yes, the victim left absolute no choice to the aggressor than to punch them in the face ! What sort of logic is that ?

You don't arrest bad journalists, just like you don't burn bad books or censor bad movies out of the excuse that they're bad. On first principles, the nature of things is more important than their subjective value.

You dont but they do. So we have three choices: lick their boots, throw ourselves at their jails, or discuss alternatives until we find one. I'd rather continue discussing than say it's already too late, but I live in it and you dont so maybe that's why.

There are no alternatives in totalitarian regimes, the only other option is to leave. Yes, I have lived in one.
