You've made a very good point about the dangers of failing to learn from history, and I think that if you spent an hour or so researching how Hitler actually came to power in the Weimar Republic, you'd be able to appreciate it.

My point is that just punching Fascists doesn't stop them.

You have to engage with politics and the power structures.

You have to think and do hard work in building coalitions and power bases.

Gangs don't win power, they just get used by those who do.

Look up the SA and the Strasserists.

Actually, you said something hyperbolic that was spectacularly false, which you seem to have no intention of acknowledging. If one has a defensible point, it's usually much better to go ahead and make that point in the first place. As it stands, you'll have to hope that someone else makes it to me on some other day, I guess, if it matters to you.

So you refuse to acknowledge my points, then?

I shouldn't expect too much from people who refuse to see the larger issue and instead get lost in the weeds.
