## Resource

A Google NotebookLM generated podcast: Herbert Marcuse's essay, Repressive Tolerance, argues that the traditional liberal concept of universal tolerance has become a tool for maintaining social oppression in modern industrial societies. He posits that when a democratic system grants equal validity to harmful ideologies and truthful insights, it effectively neutralises dissent and protects the established hierarchy. To combat this, Marcuse suggests that true liberation requires intolerance toward regressive movements and a withdrawal of rights from those who promote subjugation or violence.
