  This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945),[1] where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to execute those who promote intolerance.

  At least, that’s what the op apparently read.

    You intentionally misquoted. You wrote:

    where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to execute those who promote intolerance.

    But the real quote is:

    where he argued that a truly tolerant society must retain the right to deny tolerance to those who promote intolerance.

    Why did you do this?
