So I spent a long time this afternoon arguing with liberals that bashing the fash is 100% okay.
One person in particular came up with a piece of ideology that I legitimately couldn't think of an argument against.
Ideology: "It isn't okay to escalate the situation, what makes it okay to punch him for advocating violence against minorities and not okay to punch you for advocating violence against him. Abuse is never okay"
It sort of stopped my in my tracks because I agree, abuse is never okay. I also think that hate speech is never okay. Do you have a good leftist argument against that?
My gut says "fuck it, that Nazi deserves it", but that's a very reactionary thought. I'd love a logical connection.
