On the other side of things; a communist government would have this right, to an extent. They have the right to restrict what you say against, say, your neighbour so long as you have not based your opinion on obvious facts.

I think.
I guess I agree with you there. A communist government probably would draw the line pretty far. A republic would probably be around the same.

And a dictatorship? Well, it really doesn't matter then, does it?
