Beyond Tolerance Poem by Gianfranco Aurilio

When there are civil rights repressed by governments, tolerance is, obviously, better than repression, but when these civil rights are recognized by governments, it is necessary to educate the people to believe in equality and not to believe in discriminations, in such a way that these rights are really, and with a natural attitude, accepted by everybody. Where there is respect, tolerance has, therefore, no reason to exist. That is our goal, beyond tolerance.
