That is true; then again they have yet to be crushed in the way of the American old left. I'm again not sure how this is a good argument for further curtailing the freedom of speech.

I have no dog in this game but I don't think white supremacists/nazis should be allowed to roam freely without getting the boot. At the very least police should be allowed to just let Antifa do their job.

Fight speech with speech--I guess if that speech comes in the form of knuckles, so be it. It just takes a fabulously limited imagination not to realize that whatever tools are given to law enforcement and the security apparatus to control and suppress will be abused immediately.

You could make this same argument about the original CSA but that would be pretty fuckin' lovely for all the people enslaved there!

The fight for civil rights continues until this day. Notice I said post 1960s.

Edit: also, for what it is worth, see for example Gibson v. FLIC

this has five Google results and none of them are exactly the ringing endorsement of free speech you're suggesting

the court didn't rule that it was illegal to oppress organizations for being Communist, it ruled that the state simply hadn't proved that the NAACP was a Communist organization and therefore couldn't abuse anti-Communist laws just to oppress black people

the court essentially ruled that communists and "subversives" didn't have a right to privacy, speech, or free association, but that the state had to actually show that their target was a Communist or "subversive" rather than just using the anti-subversive laws to slippery-slope around to oppressing any group they didn't like

Daily VS Hot Take: When bernie runs in 2020 he will win but his favorability will probably end up being around 50%~ because SOCIALISM. Favorability ratings don't actually mean anything in electoral politics

his favorability is already like 55~ ish so it's not like that's a significant change.

bernie is the frontrunner, i think he will keep a lot of his enthusiastic base and raise an absolute shitton of money that will dwarf the rest of the field, but there's definitely a ton of uncertainty next year. he's going to get hit with a massive barrage of attack ads from every direction.

The biggest problem I see Bernie Sanders facing is that he does have a quote praising Venezuela on record. It's like the difference between a tattered and ragged rug with piss stains and a polished, ornate marble floor with a little piece of gum stuck to it. People are going to bring up the gum.

He will be running against a guy who has a quote praising Nazis on record. As long as the democratic nominee doesn't double down on the status quo they are at an advantage.
