> "..there is now a widespread tendency to argue that one can only defend #democracy by #totalitarian methods. If one loves democracy, the argument runs, one must crush its enemies by no matter what means. And who are its #enemies? It always appears that they are not only those who attack it openly and consciously, but those who ‘objectively’ endanger it by spreading mistaken #doctrines. In other words, defending democracy involves destroying all #independence of thought"
