Well, the precedent was bad? This is a dumb take.

“The red scare was bad” going completely over your head somehow

“Guys guys we should nuke Japan again we did it in the 40s so there’s precedent” Not that I’m defending capitalism just free speech

Yeah while we’re stomping on the 1st Amendment let’s just do the 13th too since there’s legal precedent for it. Because legal precedent always means good

Sure, it is "legal precedent," but it is no longer settled law. Red Scare was in the era of the clear/present danger test for free speech exceptions; a test that SCOTUS no longer uses due to the rulings in Yates (67') and Brandenburg (69'). With that being said, your view that any speech which promotes capitalism should be unconstitutional is not a possible legal reality.
