To be sure, liberal democracies have felt threatened since communism collapsed in 1989 – but mostly by foreign terrorists, who tend not to form political parties and sit in these countries’ parliaments. So, should extremist parties that seek to compete within the democratic framework be outlawed, or would such a restriction on freedom of speech and association itself undermine this framework?
平心而论，自由民主国家自1989年共产主义崩溃以来便一直感受到威胁——但大部分来自外国恐怖分子，他们的意图不是组建政党和进入议会。那么，寻求在民主框架内参与竞争的极端主义政党应该被定位非法吗？还是这样的言论和结社自由限制本身破坏了这一框架？
