On Politics and the Culture War (1)

As I’ve noted many times before, the reactionary right is attempting to use the political system to crush popular leftish ideas instead of putting its resources into winning the intellectual debate. Assuming, for purposes of argument, that the right has the political and legal muscle to impose some degree of censorship on the left, can this approach actually work in the long run?

History says no. It didn’t even work in totalitarian states prior to the advent of the internet. Given the practical difficulties involved in controlling the web, and the libertarian strains of reactionary thought, how can the right completely stifle the woke left, even under unrealistically favorable circumstances?
