Czech President Petr Pavel on Thursday signed an amendment to the country’s criminal code that criminalises the promotion of communist ideology, placing it on the same footing as Nazi propaganda.
The revised legislation introduces prison sentences of up to five years for anyone who “establishes, supports or promotes Nazi, communist, or other movements which demonstrably aim to suppress human rights and freedoms or incite racial, ethnic, national, religious or class-based hatred.”
The change follows calls from Czech historical institutions, including the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes, to correct what they viewed as a legal imbalance.

The opposition will. Would it be easier to argue that the organisation is not fascist or that fascism isn’t inherently bad?
@plyth arguing that fascism isn’t inherently bad is just not understanding what fascism is. … or you’re the fascist, then it wouldn’t be bad _for you_.
Human rights for all humans are not possible in a fascist society. By definition.
You are confusing a few things there.
There is no singular definition of fascism. If fascism is defined as monarchy but without human rights, then of course fascism is impossible without violating human rights. But that doesn’t capture the essence of fascism.
I have received many downvotes and some bans but not a good argument why that is always true. What is essential to fascism that is incompatible with human rights?
Btw I think human rights are important and fascism is already bad for linking state and economy.
