291. You are missing the point entirely.
The issue is not whether you are correct in your defense of Communism as an ideology, the issue is whether or not you have the right to even dispute the matter. I care not one whit about your opinion regarding the actions of the Soviet Union, but I would not seek to criminalize it simply because I believe you are woefully mistaken in your views.

You have yet to offer any rational argument as to why speech questioning genocides should be criminalized, but speech questioning equally monstrous acts with equally monstrous consequences should not.
