**Political Repression in the USA** refers to the various ways the
|
|
[United States](United_States_of_America "wikilink") government has
|
|
undermined various movements that threaten it. Like most liberal
|
|
democracies, the United States has never really had a campaign of overt
|
|
banning and mass murder to repress political opponents. Instead,
|
|
political repression takes far more quiet and subtle forms involving
|
|
assassinations, strategy of tension, imprisonment of activists on
|
|
false/exaggerated charges, monitoring, encouraging of suicides and the
|
|
occasional massacre.
