      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.
