Even the ideas are wrong, the people holding those ideas still need to be protected. These two are the two sides of the same coin, one can't survive without the other. Failure in protecting the minority and unpopular ideas is the main reason why democratic movements failed around the world.
Chinese way of "鬥爭哲學/side with me or die" or "為達目的不擇手段" or "因言製罪", will never lead China to democracy. In fact, that kind of belief will doom China forever.
民主“自由”,不僅少數服從多數,還包括保護少數派意見。

僅僅提倡少數服從多數,很容易導致多數人的暴政。
