[VIDEO] Judith Butler Doesn't Want The Right To Have Free Speech
Talk about saying the quiet part out loud.

Judith Butler said the quiet part out loud.
"Free speech becomes a way of authorizing discrimination. Free speech becomes a way of authorizing bullying or even hate speech. And I think we have to take it back. I don't want the right wing to have free speech in this way."
Translation: Free speech is fine, as long as it benefits us. But if it gives a platform to the people we hate? Shut it down.
This is what the left really means when they talk about "freedom." It's not about the First Amendment. It's not about open discourse. It's about control over the narrative.
Free Speech = Capitalism = Evil
To the far left, free speech isn't a moral principle. It's a political weapon. In their framework:
"Free speech" is a product of liberalism.
The socialist left treats free speech not as a neutral value, but as something birthed by Enlightenment liberalism—the same worldview that promotes individual rights, limited government, and personal freedom. In their mind, that’s not a good thing. That’s the ideology they’re trying to dismantle.
Liberalism is a mask for capitalism.
They don’t see liberalism as a legitimate worldview. They see it as a clever disguise—an ideological smokescreen that protects capitalism from being overthrown. Individual liberties are seen as tools that keep the capitalist system in place as a form of private property. They see these values as mechanisms of ownership—structures that give individuals power independent of the collective. And that kind of autonomy has no place in their revolution.
Capitalism is oppression.
At the core of all this is Marxism. The left believes capitalism isn’t just an economic system—it’s a cultural model and a structure of oppression. Everything bad in society—racism, sexism, homophobia—is, in their view, upheld and reproduced by capitalism.
So if you're defending free speech, you're defending capitalism. If you're defending capitalism, you're defending the status quo. If you're defending the status quo, you're upholding white supremacy, patriarchy, and every other buzzword in their glossary.
That’s why they reframe free speech as a right-wing conspiracy. It lets them justify censorship as a form of justice. Silencing dissent becomes a revolutionary act.
Butler's Real Message
Judith Butler isn’t just some fringe activist. She's a gender theorist whose ideas built the foundation for queer theory, trans ideology, and most of what’s infected the modern university. When she says free speech is a right-wing project, the institutions listen.
They’re not hiding it anymore.
This isn’t a bug in the system. It is the system. And if we don't start defending free speech like our civilization depends on it, we’ll lose the ability to speak at all.

I'm shocked she came right out and said it so blatantly
If that woman gained power I could see her as the Minister for Reeducation Camps. Even if she caused the death of millions, not a shred of regret would come into her thoughts. The inability to see their own oppressive, totalitarian traits is mind boggling.
