The freedom of speech is more precious than I hope to never so
personally know.

These are true heroes & martyrs

Czarist Russia always had censorship. Soviet Russia always had
censorship.

Today's Russia has censorship.

So that means they have "free speech on vital economic issues,"
according to your definition, right?

Censorship.

That's why they must live off their oil gas and other resources. Like
everyone else they cannot have a market economy without free speech.

Shameful snippitarian dodge there. But the public
record is my ally.

But you just said China had free speech (according to your
daffynition) and that means that censorship and free speech
are the same thing to you. But, I guess that once you assume
a contradiction is true, all things are equally true in your
system. Isn't that true? Everything is true, nothing is permitted.
