I've taken a few punches in my time and one time it put me in hospital for several days, my sinuses full of blood from my broken face to the extent that while vomiting up the blood I had swallowed I nearly suffocated. Putting your body on the line is no joke and folk who throw that poo poo around without backing it up with a willingness and understanding are, for want of a better term, virtue signaling.

Saying that, to an extent, I'm just as guilty of this. By virtue of location, if nothing else, I can't materially contribute and can only give moral support.

And that's fine. I've been punched in the face by a stranger over political speech before, it's not fun. (Yes, I hit him back.)

Noone likes an armchair activist. Especially in matters of high personal stakes. Like, the idea of punching a nazi is good in the abstract, but it means opening yourself up to retaliation from the nazi, that nazi's allies, and most dangerously of all, the armed forces of the state. In service of the general goal of fighting the right,any one instance of a nazi getting punched may be fun and good for morale, but it doesn't really address the deeper systemic problems that shaped the nazi in the first place. That being said, fascism (especially of the mass mobilized kind seen last weekend) must be confronted, and that confrontation will necessarily become violent in some way. Political violence is sometimes necessary for a better world, but it should not be trivialized or romanticized, least of all by those unwilling to pay the price it demands.

This.

But also, I think that the old adage "from each according to their abilities" applies in this instance. If you are in a situation where violence is required (say, in the defence of a minority community under threat) and are of the physical capacity to dispense it I encourage you to go hogwild.

Ever since I got kettled at the Toronto G20 I've realized you can never trust that the state will act in your interest and you have to be prepared to fight no matter what. Stay safe goons and learn to throw a punch.

Pretty much, luckily most non crazy lefties seem to be following this idea. If you feel you genuinely need to use violence against someone who's posing a danger, don't be ashamed of feeling strong for fighting back or whatever, but no one has a genuine moral obligation to go collect fifty nazi scalps to be a True Leftist. Just don't pretend that it's horrible and evil to punch someone who's advocating for your destruction and it's good.

I'm 100% behind punching nazis but if you're in a situation where this won't help your comrades and will just get you sent to hospital I recommend not doing it. There will be instances where the fuckers will be physically or numerically superrior, I know this from working in a place where this was he case, and you're useless to the struggle if you're crippled for life.

Yea at the very least you should learn basic self defense if you can and try to be at least in ok shape just for your own good. At best you just get fit and never need to defend yourself but have the ability just in case, at worst you can actually, you know, handle some mongloid screaming 'gas the jews' in your face and getting feisty. Win win.
