Dear Members,

Thanks to @muganda, @redondo, @Marty, @Robinhood and @jamplu for your contributions on the new rules of engagement.

We encourage everyone in the community to bring forward their view by actually posting a rule that they wish the community members to adhere to. We will collate all the rules and publish the new code of conduct.

The Politics forum and all political discussions will remain suspended until this exercise is concluded.








The Wazua spirit

Political repression is the persecution of an individual or group for political reasons, particularly for the purpose of restricting or preventing their ability to take political life of society.

Political repression is sometimes used synonymously with the term political discrimination (also known as politicism). It often is manifested through discriminatory policies, such as human rights violations, surveillance abuse, police brutality, imprisonment, involuntary settlement, stripping of citizen's rights, lustration and violent action or terror such as the murder, summary executions, torture, forced disappearance and other extrajudicial punishment of political activists, dissidents, or general population.

Where political repression is sanctioned and organised by the state, it may constitute state terrorism, genocide, politicide or crimes against humanity. Systemic and violent political repression is a typical feature of dictatorships, totalitarian states and similar regimes. In such regimes, acts of political repression may be carried out by secret police forces, army, paramilitary groups or death squads. Relevant activities have also been found within democratic contexts as well.

If political repression is not carried out with the approval of the state, a section of government may still be responsible. An example is the FBI COINTELPRO operations in the United States between 1956 and 1971.

In some states, "repression" can be an official term used in legislation or the names of government institutions. For example, the Soviet Union had a legal policy of repression of political opposition defined in the penal code, and Cuba under Fulgencio Batista had a secret police agency officially named the "Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities."

@dunkang - nice one but if you do not want to be repressed - go LIVE in public and air your views. In Wazua people will have unfettered views knowing they are behind the comfort of a mouse and computer. They would not say the same inflammatory things in public. But if you do believe in what you say....go out there where it really matters...spread your word, air your views. On Wazua it does not amount ot repression IMHO.

Freedom and responsibilty is key!!!
