In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future.
When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.

"He thought of the telescreen with its never-sleeping ear. They could spy upon you night and day, but if you kept your head you could still outwit them. With all their cleverness they had never mastered the secret of finding out what another human being was thinking. . . . Facts, at any rate, could not be kept hidden. They could be tracked down by inquiry, they could be squeezed out of you by torture. But if the object was not to stay alive but to stay human, what difference did it ultimately make? They could not alter your feelings; for that matter you could not alter them yourself, even if you wanted to. They could lay bare in the utmost detail everything that you had done or said or thought; but the inner heart, whose workings were mysterious even to yourself, remained impregnable."

The Soviet Union failed.
Liberty doesn't mean freedom from hunger and insults.
Liberty means the absence of government.
If you give the government the power to provide Obamacare and arrest people for hate speech then you are giving power to the state to tax you and take away free speech.
There is no free lunch.
Use personal responsibility and the voluntary free market to solve problems.
The government is force.

Those who say that the USA is a free and peaceful country with a balanced budget are liars.
