@maldr0id @oberstenzian During last 10-15 years of communist Hungary there were some sanctioned comedians who could tell all the jokes about the system, allowing the people to get off some steam. The system still collapsed, and no one thinks of the comedians negatively. At that period the problem was not free speech as everyone knew things were shit (in part b/c of jokes that couldn't be controlled anyway) Problem was if you resisted, you could get shot.
