I agree with your overall point, but this tactic seems almost as disingenuous as the other side. I don't think we should be equating speech with body counts, even if it was the same view that brought about both. Though this is a good example of why the argument for hate speech laws doesn't make sense, I think it's important to preface it as such or else your comment comes across as the same kind of attack that Sam A is criticizing.

I don't actually advocate that Marxists be ejected from the public sphere. I'm merely pointing out that if we are going to start ejecting people for "dangerous speech", they are the obvious first candidates.
