An act of political defiance at the Brno city council in the Czech Republic has once again exposed the rabid anti-communism of the Czech ruling class and the broader reactionary campaign underway across Europe to criminalize the communist movement.

Police immediately intervened and authorities launched an investigation against the protester for allegedly promoting a... “totalitarian ideology”!
