Censorability of a concept, movement or ideology refers to its vulnerability of being censored by its opponents.
Censorability can be quantified on a scale from "0" to "1", where "0" reflects an ideology that can completely withstand efforts to censor it, while "1" indicates easy suppression through censorship. A perfect score for censorability score is "0".
The score is dependent in part on how the ideology or movement is expressed. For example, if a unique statement or outward sign is required as an essential part of the ideology, then it will have higher censorability than if the expression is varied.
Ideologies can be rated for relative censorability as an indication of long-term strength.
Over time, movements that are relatively difficult to censor -- i.e., have a low censorability -- can thrive. An example is the pro-life movement: it has virtually a perfect "0" degree of censorability.
