>What would you call it when the government tells a library to remove books?

Removal of books from a library. If a library includes material glorifying national socialism would you argue it should be removed as well?

>By that definition, almost nothing is banned anywhere outside of North Korea and similar authoritarian regimes.

I think "liberalism" is the word you are struggling for. Germany is more heavy handed on this then America for example.

I've seen Mein Kampf in a library.

Should it be kept there because many people keep reading it or do you believe that any library needs curation based on ideology?
