    The “marketplace of ideas” is a liberal value. Marxists tend to understand that correct ideas do not actually get accepted simply through exposure, people have to want to believe it for it to be accepted, which is largely driven by class interests and material conditions. In that sense, censoring harmful ideas is generally understood to be preferable to letting harmful ideas run freely.
