There are lots of gray areas in life, and lots of complex questions which require nuanced well thought-out answers.
It's often useful to problematise simple statements, to draw out different implications and to shed light on what might be un or under considered aspects.
I don't think your comment does this though. Mussolini was a fascist. Not someone with some fascist sympathies, or someone who someone else accused of being fascistic.
Maybe my response was a bit glib. Violence is certainly not something to be undertaken lightly but I think political violence against fascists is justified, and can be considered self-defence.
