May be of interest to some: Rodney Fopp (University of South Australia), "'Repressive Tolerance': Herbert Marcuse's Exercise in Social Epistomology" ("Social Epistomology", 24 [2], May 2010: pp. 105-22).

Quote: "When Herbert Marcuse's essay entitled 'Repressive tolerance' was published in the mid‐1960s it was trenchantly criticised because it was anti‐democratic and defied the academic canon of value neutrality. Yet his argument is attracting renewed interest in the 21st century, particularly when, post 9/11, the thresholds or limits of tolerance are being contested."
