Freedom of speech means freedom from interference, suppression or punitive
action by the government—and nothing else. It does not mean the right to
demand the financial support or the material means to express your views at the
expense of other men who may not wish to support you. Freedom of speech
includes the freedom not to agree, not to listen and not to support one’s own
antagonists. A “right” does not include the material implementation of that
right by other men; it includes only the freedom to earn that implementation by
one’s own effort. Private citizens cannot use physical force or coercion; they
cannot censor or suppress anyone’s views or publications. Only the
government can do so. And censorship is a concept that pertains only to
governmental action.
