He forgot, or didn't know about, Big Tech censorship or a crazed mob threatening violence type censorship.

I dunno. No one seems to be stopping me from reading whatever I want. I look at my bookshelves, and I see my Ayn Rand sitting next to Karl Marx, who is next to Mein Kampf, which in turn bumps up against Saint Benedict, Jerry Rubin, Cornel West, Dorothy Day, Abbie Hoffman, Daniel Berrigan, George F. Will, Alfred Delp, The Gulag Archipelago, the 12 volume complete Pogo, The Conscience of a Conservative (Barry Goldwater), even some Robert A. Heinlein...

Ahh... Freedom!

(I included 2 works by Heinlein on my list of the 20 most influential works of science fiction.)

Precisely. Nobody is telling you what you can or cannot read or publish. Nobody... except the Democrats, that is.

Are you kidding me? Nearly all the book banners nowadays are right wing nutcases.
