Alright, and killed or enslaved. I also missed the communists, the same treatment for them. We can accept that there may be differences in targets between one group of fascists and the next, it's really up to their Führer to decide.
> as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion
this is a load-bearing condition, also nobody thinks that punching a nazi makes someone a nazi
Scratch liberal and a fascist bleeds.
I feel like you're probably interpreting that saying in the opposite of its intended meaning but there's not enough context to know for sure.
You could have just said the intended meaning.
You can't get that deep into politics on HN - you'll get flagged.

>In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.
Oh no, Karl Popper is a Nazi. Quick punch him.

This meme needs to die. Nazis wanted to kill half of all whites, viz. everyone who lived East of the Oder and wasn't a German.
