In Germany shortly after the Nazi problem we had another dictatorship that was against freedom of expression and severely restricted opinions. They were sure they were the good guys this time...
It was very reactionary to nationalism. Adorno and consorts writings are often reactionary too, but they were real victims of fascism. They tried very hard to find an explanation for the reasons of the prosecution and sometimes got carried away. In this context most works are well worth a read.
It might even be beneficial to know the works to not conflate their position with those of people that call for more content and opinion control. These people are not innocent, they happily condemn others and have a totalitarian world view. It is just much more difficult to oppose them because they can point to Nazi and declare themselves as opposition.
