Edward Snowden says autobiography has been censored in China

Can't go allowing Western propaganda about "personal liberty" to interfere with our grand plans. But we're definitely not authoritarian. You will grow to love the options we give you.

bourgeois democratic "values" where the rich get to control society

EDIT: could it be any more obvious that the US gives zero shits about privacy and democracy? empty buzzwords in the face of the NSA and the fucking joke of a rigged primary we just had

censorship is necessary and justified to defeat international capital reaction and literally every country censors some things, including the one that uses lofty rhetoric about "freedom" as a tool of imperialism

the only way to get rid of censorship is to get rid of states, and global socialism is the way to achieve that
