    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?

          I suggest making edit obvious to those reading who don’t know the original source. Something like:

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