As long as one does not infringe on the
liberty of another, free speech is tolerated.
If one wants to preach the words of Marx or Weber in a free world, it is
a freedom of speech. The west have
proven victorious in the battle of supremacy.
Ideologically it may seem flawed to compete however the invisible hand
has proved itself successful. The
political elite of the liberal world are able to tolerate peaceful criticism. Healthy debate leads to reform. Freedom of speech includes the publishing of
books, blogs, music, video articles, flyers and general ranting and raving. We have this freedom in the west. It is a good freedom. As far as freedoms of video goes, we might
have to address this issue. Right
thought and right action with tolerance is the only way. As we want freedoms for ourselves, we are
also extending these freedoms to our neighbor.
As we allow the free market of free speech, we encounter all sorts of
dilemmas of extreme or niche markets. Tolerance
is the key!
Freedom of speech is tolerated in the extreme
west, however we have the dilemma that theist societies, like Iran and
communist states like China, do not wish to homogenize and want to preserve
their culture. This wish should be
upheld with the utmost respect. As long
as there is social contract within states, the infracture established to trade
should not be broken. The Chinese
culture is very deep with ties to ancient kingdoms. This knowledge that they possess, their
culture is of great importance. Similarly
the extreme policies of backward states like Iran should not be dismissed. We have to learn to be tolerant as the Great
Buddha professed. Right thought and
right action will lead to greater happiness.
If we all respected each other liberties, such as liberties to life,
wife and speech, there would be less problems in this world, however have to be
context if we can secure the right of life.
We have to be tolerant of the liberty of free speech in this digital
matrix.
