This reminds me of a joke:

An American and a Russian were arguing. Each one was claiming that
his country is more democratic.  The American said: "I can go to
the white house and yell 'Reagan is an idiot and a fool', and will
not be arrested".  The Russian answered, "Big deal, I can go to the
Kremlin and yell, 'Reagan is an idiot and a fool' and will not be
arrested".
