State censorship isn’t bad per se. There are many evil things the state ought to censor that help civilize society and make it more virtuous. The problem is the abuse of censorship along capricious party lines, that censors good and allows evil free rein. Right or left, they should censor the evil, false, and ugly to make it easier for the populace to become virtuous and not make it harder than it needs to be by granting indecency a similar footing with decency and treating evil and good, ugly and beautiful as if they were just matters of opinion.
