IIUC,
the US had/has a Communist party, and you could probably sell copies of Pravda;
while the USSR had no liberal party, and it's doubtful you could have a copy of the NYT.
- The illusion of choice.
  They'll never be allowed to be in power
  
  I don't think that your right to have a copy of Pravda in the US was illusory.

"Public opinion exists only where there are no ideas."- Oscar Wilde.
I think public opinion is overrated. Too many fools in the public. Just look at MAGA idiots in US.
- I believe public opinion is fairly left leaning. Just looks how popular Bernie and AOC are. It's just that corporate media discourse is very good at suppressing left wing views.
  
  You can describe socialist and communist policies and people generally love them. You just can't use those thought terminating trigger words.
  
  What I mean is taking the opinion of the public seriously. I mean, people believe in a lot of weird things and that includes me. As an example, lot of people are anti-vaxxers, that doesn't actually make vaccines dangerous. Should their opinion matter? If so, how much?
  I think the quote is meant to consider that sometimes we must ignore public opinion and do what is right. But, I agree some nuance could be lost. But sadly, the quote has no context because it is from a list of quotes Oscar Wilde wrote. Maybe, we should supply our own nuance.?

With every person dedicated to getting more people onto Linux Distros, Fediverse, and ATProtocol apps that just shines the light more and makes it a lot harder for them to spread lies or project their "power"
Linux Distros for Desktop:
Linux Mint Pop!_OS (Should be called Cosmic OS, sounds better) Fedora Workstation Asahi Fedora Remix
Mobile Android Alt Distros:
LineageOS GrapheneOS
For Fediverse Apps:
Mastodon Pixelfed PeerTube Lemmy Diaspora Friendica
For ATProtocol Apps:
Bluesky Pinksky Flashes Spark
Let's spread the word ladies and gentlemen!!
- I got banned from Reddit for suggesting doing what the French did. I got banned for that suggestive language despite a corporation having no qualms in harboring actual Nazi's who spread their message through loose doublespeak.
  Free speech is not a right on social media, especially a privately owned forum that wants you to stay longer on their site for advertisement money.

And everyone believed the propaganda about tiktok "needing" the hostile take over.

Now show the comic about the other meaning behind "the capitalist press"
- ...Is it like a sex position? 😕
  
  Could be the finishing move of The Million Dollar Man*?
  *approximately 32 Billion Dollar Man with inflation
  
  I was thinking more along the scene from Terminator but I like your style

Hahaha funny

Socialism is a forced meme.

Peace and socialism LMAO 🤣

A stalinist comic about freedom of the press. Do you have one about the futility of mustaches, too?
- Watch out, you'll anger the tankies!
