So you think we should be able to label a group of people and restrict their rights? You don't see how this could be a problem?

I think that if your views include "we should kill people because of their race", your views should be banned off every platform, yes. Trying to imply that that's the same as racism is a false equivalence.

Let's not pretend that this is just about progressivism (though it's not like even Progressive ideas were ever exempt from being highly problematic: eugenics anyone?). You could find plenty of literal tankies posting on Twitter before Putin made the whole 'tankie' thing rather unpopular.

are tankies progressive? I think their primary axiom is hating America.
Either way, I agree that there's a range of legitimate discourse and it shouldn't just be the current flavour of progressivism. I was more cutting out a negative exception for the far right than a positive exception for libsocs.
I might be out on a limb with this, but I don't think we should be giving far-right people a platform to spread their views.
