State Democracy Oligarchy Theocracy

The issue of whether democracies can accept suicide is a much more complex issue than it seems. It is a paradox. Should democracies give a chance to power to a party that declares that it will abolish democracy when it comes to power, or should they consider closing down such a party? Should democracies' legislative struggle come before tolerance? How can putting an end to a political party seen as dangerous to democracy be reconciled with the basic principles of democracy? How can we defend the army's closure of an undemocratic organization, especially a party that has received enough votes to come to power, in the name of protecting democracy? How can a democracy that defends itself against its enemies still maintain its status as a democracy? How can democracies that preach tolerance consent to groups trying to make intolerance dominant take over the government?
