>From Wilhelm Reich to Roger Baldwin of the American Civil Liberties Union,
July 26, 1948 (in "Red Thread of Conspiracy"):
"Freedom of speech and press are usually and unsconsciously being
misinterpreted in the sense that irrationalism should have the same freedom
of expression as rationalism, and that the lie should have the same freedom
of speech as the truth. This misconception of freedom has led the European
world into the disaster because the present human character structure is
more afraid of the truth than of the lie, and more inclined to irrational
than to rational reactions. If real peace and democracy should have a
chance of growth, I believe, a thorough distinction between rational and
irrational, truthful and deceitful human action and expression should be
made, and that freedom of speech should not be granted to fascist lie and
irrationalism, wherever and by whomever it is expressed."
