Quote #6 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Free Speech and Honesty
“When the government designates as punishable all play of mind against the state, the moderate liberals come and opine that fun, satire, wit, humor, must have free play anyhow, and genius must enjoy freedom. So not the individual man indeed, but still genius, is to be free. Here the state, or in its name the government, says with perfect right: He who is not for me is against me;. Fun, wit, etc. -- in short, the turning of state affairs into a comedy -- have undermined states from of old: they are not "innocent."”
