Popper that formulated the paradox of tolerance was a marxist and invented the paradox of tolerance as an argument based upon victimology (pathos) for why Marxists need to pre-censor people that disagree with them. It’s a dangerous path, especially as Marxists are pathos driven not logos so you don’t need a logical argument before censoring. You just need a pathos statement by a Marxist that they felt victimized by your words, and voila … gulags.
The reason why this is so important for Marxists is that it’s a gnostic end times theology that believe the human collective will manifest Marxist utopia if all alive have gnostic Marxist knowledge, as they believe the Marxists as Gods would create utopia. This is why you hear communists say “communism has not been tried”, as some people alive did not have communist gnostic knowledge
- npunt 5y agook but what about bar nazis
- asabjorn 4y agoThe goal of popper was to create asymmetry, where Marxists are allowed to call speech of opponents violence with no reasoned argument and with that justify real violence by Marxists. Stopping volk-Marxism, nazism, is not where this ends. As always it ends it gulags filled with academics, Trotskyites, any competing faith (Christianity, Islam etc), anyone that has a rich person somewhere in the family tree, whomever annoyed the commissar etc
