How so? The reference was to there being so many socialist parties in Europe implying a larger than normal proportion of socialist parties, which is false, as practically every state has a socialist party.
Having established that socialism and social democracy are not the same thing and that only 2 European countries to my knowledge have full socialist government then it is also not true that there is a preponderance of socialist governments.

it's condescending to say that your measure of limitation should be adopted everywhere else, just like we got a right to determine our limitations so should they.

no you said there is not one, yet you provided 2. The real point here is are you really trying to argue the extent of preponderance of socialist dogma in europe compared to US? dont you think that's a really silly comparison?

Believing that your (western) idea of freedom of speech and its limitations should be universal is foolish and does not account for cultural and contextual differences.
In Business there is an ongoing debate between best practices VS best fit. Most business practitioners and academics have already resigned to the idea that best practices(that are mostly tried and tested in the west) do not always work in a different context. Its about time political science does the same. The western ideals of democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of expression etc are all desirable ideals everywhere, but how they are understood and implemented are inevitably going to be different.
