That is precisely where the thought experiment parts from the real example. What harm does MLSE suffer from allowing its employees to express their own views on their own time? It is merely asserted, without proof, evidence, or argument, that it is somehow detrimental to a company to have employees whose political beliefs do not align with those of senior management. And it is further assumed that the company ought to have the power to punish any employee who expresses such a belief.
