Taleb on Democracy: Should we be intolerant of intolerance?

“Can democracy – by definition the majority – tolerate enemies? The question is: ‘Would you deny freedom of speech to a political party that excludes freedom of speech in its program?’ One step further: ‘Should a society that has decided to be tolerant be intolerant of intolerance?'”

– Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book “Skin In The Game – The Risk and Its Price”
