All you need to do is look at ATS, Berkeley, Charlottesville to see that free expression isn't any more.
The reason why it has become my "go-to" point is because I think that free expression is a good litmus test to determine how free a society is at any given time.

Still it is disturbing that there are people who want to emulate Mao even after history shows that his policies ended in failure.

It is not a nationwide phenomena though. Nobody in the other 99% of the nation gives a crap what they do at Berkeley. The Media hypes these choice radical Left specific locations and creates a false narrative that the sentiment and actions taken there applies across the country.

I think it's far more pervasive than is being reported.
Hell, the media is as culpable if not more.
Mao didn't convert everyone in China, there were those that simply didn't care or didn't want to get involved with any opposition until it was too late.

Its coming, just wait for 2020. The Leftist Democrat backlash will be swift, relentless and unforgiving.
