I hate the fact that the answers for these things are set up for two wrong answers and casual libel.

Trump obviously hates Nazis: He has been publicly disavowing White Supremacists for a hell of a lot longer than 20 years. His daughter is Jewish.

He sure as hell is not a socialist; just likes capitalism too damned much.

No one belongs in a peaceful society who hits people for any reason but for protection from current or imminent violence.

It is unreasonable to do violence to a person just because:

- 1 - People who share a person's beliefs (or philosophy) have in the past done egregious violence. People are individuals who have individual intentions and act as individuals. There are good reasons that we do not go around hitting Christians because of the Crusades and Inquisition. We don't go around hitting Communists because of the brutality, murder, and oppression that OTHER communists implemented EVERY SINGLE place communism has been implemented.

- 2 - He/She is in an organization that has the same name (or are is called that by some outsider) as people who have done egregious violence Consider that ANTIFA folks call anyone coming out of a Trump or Ben Shapiro event Nazis. Consider that neo-Nazis are generally not even socialist despite the fact that Nazi is short for National Socialist Party. Seriously, How can you be sure you are actually hitting a Nazi?

- 3 - He/She holds a political view or believes a philosophy the implementation of which would include violence or oppression. Until the violent part of the implementation begins, spouting off is just hot air. Otherwise the belief in Sharia would justify hitting Muslims, and the belief in Communism would justify hitting communists.

- 4 - He/she is an asshole. There are just too many assholes for this to be a practical solution. I know Kennedy said, "We do not do these things because they are easy, but because they are hard," but the challenge of a manned mission to the moon pales in comparison to kicking the ass of everyone who deserves it.

Why you shouldn't punch a Nazi.

Violence breeds violence.

That snap is similar to the famous/infamous photo of an incident during a right vs left wing demonstration/counter demonstration in London England when a left wing thug kicked a policeman on the head while shouting ''fascist pig''

The unarmed Bobby was simply doing his job by trying to keep the opposing sides apart.

The officer suffered permanent brain damage and died some 2 years later with a condition directly related to the physical trauma of the kick.

Apart from breaking the law, punching people nearly always leads to being punched back.

Then the warring factions almost always decide that weapons would be more effective than bare knuckles, so the physical violence escalates into The gunfight at O.K. Corral type conflict.

The only place to express your opposition to any group with whose ideology/political agenda you disagree is at the ballot box.

No would not punch a Nazi like excon i would just plant a bullet in your brain !

First of all, we need to have an open dialogue with such people so that we can beat their arguments with our own logical arguments. Physically attacking such people does your cause no good and in fact makes them appear the victim. Further, observers will think that if you could beat their arguments with your own arguments then surely you would have done so rather than responding with violence. If we counter their arguments with our own arguments, as well as appearing the better side to any observers we also have a chance at changing the Nazis' minds. Exerting force upon them, on the other hand, will cement their views further.

In addition, we don't want to drive such movements to feel they cannot engage in the democratic process. If we don't allow people to speak out they will inevitably resort to violence instead. What's more, the violence will appear legitimate because it is the only avenue of change that we will have afforded them.

Moreover, even the moderate right wing, such as Ben Shapiro, (a centre-right Jew that dislikes Trump) are being called Nazis as we saw this week at UC Berkeley. As such, this is an incredibly dangerous meme to promote.

Finally, it isn't moral to exert violence on people merely because they have a different perspective on things, even if that perspective is wrong in the worst ways. To conclude, it's neither pragmatic nor moral to commit violence against Nazis, nor is it compatible with the values of a liberal democracy.
