    Overall an interesting point that could have been waaay shorter and better if instead of the digressions into kautsky, stalin and althusser etc he just went back to marx’s 1840s article about prussian censorship and bureacracy, and in particular how the biggest issue with censorship is when/because the censor is a non-expert in the subject theyre censoring and the censoree is an expert in the subject, he could have made his point much quicker and more effectively
