Democracy is not a star on a tree

"Liberty for wolves is death to the lambs," he wrote in The Crooked Timber of Humanity (The crooked timber of humanity), the British political scientist Isaiah Berlin (1909-1997) in an attempt to explain the importance of balance between concepts of "freedom" and "equality" within the liberal thought of the twentieth century and, by extension, in any democracy.

I was quite impressed by the debate that has originated in the comments of my previous post on Ilfattoquotidiano. com, entitled I hate them, the Nazis Alberta. Hit it, perhaps by coincidence, some commentators have defended the idea that a very lively even the neo-Nazis have a right to march and demonstrate in public their ideas in a democracy if you want to say that.
