To deny novelty or grievance a right of expression is a certain, if, indeed, an ultimate, validation of the truth they contain.
The essence of the persecuting position is always that the persecutor has hold of truth and that he would betray its service by allowing it to be questioned.
Ultimately, that denial is always made upon the same ground: it is insisted that the doctrines or practices attacked are subversive of the civil order.
We grant it in religion to deny it in politics; we grant it in politics, to deny it in economic matters.
