You don't respond to words with violence. Violent against opposing political ideas is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes such as fascism.

You see the biggest problem with nazis is that the employ violence to political ends. In fact that's all a nazi is, someone who does that. Everyone who employs political violence is a nazi, and there's nothing else objectionable about nazis!

Literally just "Fighting Nazis makes you the real Nazis".

Self-defence against a fascist threat doesn't make you as bad as the actual loving Nazis.

Except for the fact that nazism (and fascism in general, to be honest) is an inherently violent ideology. It, by its very nature, targets a group of people as 'undesirable' and seeks to remove them from the general population of the nation. A violent response to this is, probably, the most correct response, regardless of what you think about political discourse. Beyond that, allowing these people to have a platform allows them to gain legitimacy when they speak - purely by being calm and collected about how 'those people' need to be 'peacefully removed' from society.

If the state came out and beat someone for saying something critical of it then probably yes. If a handful of people who are not the state and work against it come out and beat someone for wanting to do genocides then probably no.

Winnie Mandela told her followers to commit series of terrorist acts against innocent if bigoted (probably racist) people. Winnie Mandela is responsible for the killing and torture of children.

I mean technically I agree with you, it would be much more efficient to employ massive collective or state action to suppress them rather than resorting to enthusiastic private enterprise :v:


Mm yes promote the fascist, after all, nobody has ever manged to convince people en-masse that fascism is good.

I don't think its promotion when its presented as something bad or worthy of mockery. That's essentially what folks like Kevin Logan are doing.

Clearly the correct way to protest is to keep having infinite Sharpeville massacres until either the state runs out of protesters to kill or some other state faces enough internal pressure and sends in the bombers, which are known to never kill innocent people or children.

I did not propose my definition of nazis. I just said that violent response to an opposing idea is strongly associated with authoritarian regimes such as fascism (Nazism). So if a person doesn't want to promote these ideologies, it seems to me that he also should refrain from engaging into their practices, such as violence against people he doesn't agree with.

Are you disqualifying political revolution? What should have happened in Haiti, or under the czar in Russia, or in France under the old regime?

My point is that political violence, and I think "punching nazis" falls under that umbrella, because it's done out of political disagreement, is wrong AND has a strong connection to actual historical nazism. Which makes it wrong for a person who says he's against it to engage in. That's if we are using the traditional definition of nazism as an ideology which follows in the footsteps of Nazi Germany's.

Your point is nonsensical. I am not remotely against political violence because political violence is not why nazis are bad. You might as well suggest that art deco architecture is nazi and people should refrain from that as well.

Do you seriously think that the use of political violence to achieve a goal is why the nazis are bad? You have, perhaps, no opinions on the goals they used it to achieve? The worst thing on the list of reasons why nazism is an abhorrent ideology is that they beat people up sometimes for disagreeing with them verbally?

you're saying actions taken by private individuals have the hallmarks of authoritarian regimes. if you don't recognize how blindingly stupid this argument is then i doubt i can properly explain it to you. it's the same as complaining that someone telling you to shut up is violating your first amendment rights. i'm sorry that you had to find out that you are incredibly stupid in this fashion but time heals all wounds
