A dictatorship only resolves things be basically by “cleansing” the heretical thoughts of the others. Not a very good solution nor is it respectful of free speech.
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> nor is it respectful of free speech Argument is there are certain modes of free speech that are unstable. They create social harmonics that empower populists who tear down the liberal order and destroy the rights that brought them to power (and could now threaten to topple them). Classical case for this, with respect to democracy (not free speech), is Athens.
