The alt right talking point right now is that

1) the guy that ran over the people was a lone wolf and does not represent them,

2) some people displayed nazi symbols and it is absolutely clear that they are nazis, but again those are lone wolves and do not represent them,

3) that they were allowed to stand with them because free speech bro.

1) which drat near every alt-right and nazi website has memes of and has fantasized over for years

2) Most to all seems to really thin those lone wolves out all right

3) At what point does free speech mean inciting violence and murder?

Listen, nazis, if you're going to play this poo poo, own it. You want to play the new Gestapo, then own the loving name and stop hiding behind "free speech" as an excuse. Or maybe take a second to think about why you're ashamed of being labeled a nazi and stop being one

That's what I'm saying, and that laws are nothing without the will to enforce them. Plenty of dictatorships and terrible societies have just and reasonable laws that no one, including the government, even acknowledges.

I'm on vacation right now and posting on a phone, but Germany does have effective means to prevent the existence of undemocratic groups - the key though is that their Supreme Court equivalent makes a judgement, and the group must be abusing basic rights to undermine the democratic system itself, not just express abhorrent opinions. These laws are termed "military democracy" and are the result of a legal scholar named Karl Loewenstein who worked in the 1930s and 1940s and was trying to understand how the Weimar government effectively committed suicide by empowering groups whose purpose was the destruction of the state. All that being said, the comparison to today is so what specious as the American white nationalist groups are laughably unorganized compared to Nation Socialists and don't have allies in every level of government (Trump tweets notwithstanding)

It's not the same though. There's a reason that Hitler barely served any time for the Beer Hall Putsch - a very large part of the Weimar government, including the legal system, were actively rooting for the return to a monarchy/conservative autocracy

I mean, poo poo, just leave the 1st alone and make a new law that says, "Because Nazis are agents of a hostile foreign government in exile, we do not afford them the full rights and protections a citizen would receive.

Sadly the US constitution doesn't give citizens rights. It just imposes restrictions on the US government itself.

It's sort of interesting if you go back and read it that the wording is all about what the government can't do. The only time it mentions rights is in the form of "because A is a fundamental right then the government can't do B"

It's why it applies to everyone and not just US citizens.

Only as far as those internal dissidents aren't aiming to undermine that same democracy and those basic rights. If you use democracy to attack and undermine democracy, you've opted out of the system and are no longer supported by it (the difficulty and complexity of enforcing this is another matter).

The Nazis (as in the actual National Socialist Party) weren't much of a unified movement in the beginning either. But there were other movements in the general right-wing area, so ultimately they could all join forces and become unified because they weren't challenged enough at a time while they were still weak and unorganized. (It probably didn't help that the far-left back in Weimar was extremely happy to sabotage the Weimar republic as well and considered the SPD a more important fascist target than the nazis.)

The German model. For many years many legal scholars have argued that similar laws were not needed in the US because of our extremely thorough tradition of democracy - but I wonder.

Regardless, I don't know if the current white nationalist group would meet the above definition. The success of the Nazi Party much more hinged on abuse of the elective and legislative process, not public protest.

For my posts you can read Nazi Party as "hodgepodge of Volkisch conservative militarized conservative groups"

Also you're right that that the left actually also posed a threat - something we don't see today in th US
