Letter: Advocacy of force and free speech
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: The Media Workers Against the Nazis (Letters, 13 April) identify the British National Party not just with fascism but with Nazism, and intend not just to expose its nature but to deny it freedom of expression.
Following this line of reasoning, it should be noted that some of the leading Media Workers Against the Nazis are well-known Marxists, and it should be remembered that most Marxist parties have used the amalgam technique to identify their opponents as fascists of one kind or another and that all Marxist regimes have used terrorist methods of arrest, imprisonment and murder against large numbers of their opponents. Indeed, Marxists of various kinds have probably been responsible for more human misery in the present century even than fascists and Nazis.
Yours faithfully,
