Alexander S. Kirshner examines the normative tensions inherent in liberal democracies that attempt to suppress anti-democratic movements while maintaining their own foundational commitments. By analyzing the ethical justifications for state intervention against extremist groups, the author provides a rigorous framework for understanding how representative systems can defend themselves without compromising the very rights they seek to protect.
