SUMMARY
Exile remains a relevant political tool in contemporary society, functioning as a means to remove politically dangerous individuals from public discourse rather than through execution. Modern examples include the exclusion of figures like Alan Keyes from Republican primary debates, illustrating how political authorities can effectively silence dissenters.
