I don't know what the national bolshevik party is, but I'm guessing they didn't?

They're a political party in Russia that was banned for being anti-Putin. Their flag is literally just the Nazi flag with a hammer and sickle instead of a swastika, which tells you everything you need to know about what they believe.

Fascinating. What point were you trying to make by mentioning them?

When I said "crushes free speech" I was talking about the Nazbol party, and other parties banned by Putin

Understood. I was pointing out how free speech has fared in the united states, not so good. Speech here is controlled by megacorporations that are doing worse than Putin.

True. Big tech especially censors people they disagree with, push fake news, and bend the narrative.
