 Is punching the leader of the NBPP justified for his support of killing white babies?

I think the end result of Ghandi and his protests was hundreds of thousands dead when it came to partition.

He did not help.

He got England out of India and freed people from a salt hoarding tyranny. I'd say that helped.

I don't know what resistance movements you studied last time you picked up a history book and did some analysis but any strategy built around getting punched in the face is a bad strategy.

The sit ins during the civil rights movement was a strategy built around getting punched in the face.

Think about this. Ever wonder why free speech is considered important in the first place?

Speech is the foundation of all political power. What is political power?

Political power is the ability to project violence.

The state protects speech so that people may exert political influence in order to direct and project the violence of the state against appropriate targets both at home and abroad.

Nazis seek to use this influence to enact a policy of ethnic cleansing. It cannot be argued that this agenda is in any way nonviolent. The threat of violence is ever-present in their rhetoric and in their mass manifestations as political agitators.

To violently confront such provocation is self defence.

If free speech allows for intangibly retarded definitions of "self defense" and "power" perhaps I haven't been critical enough of free speech all these years.

Their declared intent is to kill, evict or otherwise oppress anyone who isn't a white heterosexual male. If that isn't grounds for self defence, what the gently caress is? Does the knife already have to be buried in your gut before you're allowed to protect yourself?

No, but It has to be greater than a group of spineless retards saying poo poo without any actual follow through or ability to carry out their genocide. "Hey round up the trailer park and bring some extra percocet, we's gots us a holocaust"
