Now that the Supreme Court has spoken, perhaps those who have been engaged in ‘red-tagging,’ or the act of branding political activists and critics of government as “communists” or even “terrorists,” would now think twice about continuing what they have been doing.
The court pointed out that inherent in the practice of red-tagging was the “use of threats and intimidation” to discourage what could be deemed “subversive” activities. Understandably, the Supreme Court ruling has been welcomed by activist groups and human rights organizations as an important piece of jurisprudence that could serve as the basis for future decisions involving persons unfairly tagged by state authorities as members of alleged communist groups.
