'''Partisan tolerance''' is a concept invented by [[communist]] author [[Herbert Marcuse]]. Partisan tolerance dictates that the enemies of [[Marxist]] [[revolution]] have to be forced into [[tolerance]], but [[socialist]]s are allowed to be [[intolerant]] against them. This is because there are "correct" opinions that are to be preferred, and "incorrect" opinions that have to be fought against with all means.

Partisan tolerance evolved into [[political correctness]], [[censorship]], and curtailment of [[Free Speech]] [[1st Amendment]] rights.
According to Marcuse, a non-partisan tolerance would leave the established values intact, which would lead to repressive tolerance. Therefore, Marcuse only accepted a partisan tolerance which would have to be "intolerant toward the protagonists of the repressive status quo", or would promote "intolerance against movements from [[Right-wing politics|the Right]], and toleration of movements from [[the Left]]".
