I think we can all agree we vehemently disagree with people who threaten our existence. We still do not have a right to inflict physical violence upon those who are voicing their opinions, no matter how vile they are. Now, of course you may be rightfully upset and unwind, but that is not a protected right.
If you disagree with the above, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding of the intentions of the first amendment to the US constitution.

The first amendment to the US Constitution only applies to the US Government. The government cannot prevent you from spewing your bile. It in no way applies to interactions between individual citiizens. You a dreadfully mistaken if you think it's a free pass because "muh free speech".
Additionally, hate speech is also violence, and you cannot hide behind free speech to say "but look, you're doing physical violence to me". So, yeah, beat up nazis.

No, it's self defense. Especially not when the actual nazis are the ones committing acts of terrorism in your very own country.
1. someone holding up a racist sign at a protest doesn't mean they're going to go around committing violence against minorities. You're going to have a hard time convincing a judge that falls under "self defense".
2. You'd be fine if republicans commit "self defense" by punching ANTIFA and BLM activists, right?

lmao are you both sides-ing literal Nazis with BLM and antifas? (No, not ANTIFA. anarchists do not make organisations like that. We do like our meetings though). You're not even arguing in good faith, go dogwhistle somewhere else.
