Surely you don't believe that the only politically motivated crimes are cases of incitement...yet I think you're a bit off track anyway, for a different reason.

Surely you don't believe that the only politically motivated crimes are cases of incitement...yet I think you're a bit off track anyway, for a different reason. > In a so-called liberal state we shouldn't send people behind bars for political reasons, not even fascists Note the "shouldn't" -- even if your point were valid, it's moot because this is a conversation about "should" not "do." Gitlow v. New York upheld conviction based on a loose interpretation of "clear and present danger," and later Feiner v. New York held that the police can take action against speech when there is a clear and present danger. But again, none of that matters because we're not debating legal theory, nor implementation of law. Are you suggesting that we should pardon all criminals who are motivated in part or in whole by political reasons?
