"...and those who demand instant perfection the day after the Revolution. They get up and say "Are there civil liberties for the fascists? Are they gonna be allowed to have their newspapers and their radio programs? Are they gonna be able to keep all their farms? The passion that some of our liberals feel the day after the Revolution; the passion and concern they feel for the fascists, the civil rights and civil liberties of those fascists, who were dumping and destroying and murdering people before. Now the revolution has got to be perfect it's got to be flawless.
Well that isn't my criteria. My criteria is what happens to those people who couldn't read? What happens to those babies that couldn't eat, that died of hunger? And there, that's why I support revolution. The revolution that feeds the children gets my support..."
Nazis existing is the Nazi throwing the first punch.
Their entire ideology is "might makes right" and extermination, they are attacking you by being a Nazi. Being a Nazi is by definition announcing your intention to do harm to the most vulnerable in our society
Why the hell should I listen to a fascists' advice on how to defeat them? Sorry this ain't Steven Universe, I'm not going to burst out crying and hug the nazi telling him I forgive him because I know there's "good in him" deep down.
Terfs when Nazis talk about murdering minorities: "Guys this is valuable free speech that deserves protection"
Terfs when someone talks about punching Nazis: "How dare you! I will protect Nazis with my life"
If talking about punching nazis makes you more upset than when nazis talk about doing nazi shit maybe you're just a fucking nazi.
to be fair, this is just general lib shit. like, you'll find a shittonne of people who are 100% "trans rights are human rights!!! ^_^ (but we need to fund the police, blow up muslims, and protect nazis UwU)"
Nazis existing is violence. Its not a matter of disagreeing with them, they don’t deserve the right to spew their beliefs, they deserve a bullet. I would punch someone’s grandfather in the face if I knew they were a nazi. No pause, no regret. Push that old fuck down the stairs and then throw his nazi uniform down there after him, so everyone knows why.
It's not some moral paragon to 'respectfully disagree' with the worst ideologies of all time. If someone told me they were p*do and wanted to practice it, I would beat their ass.
You have to treat them nice & gentle
Do nothing rash, they're sensitive
You must be somewhat sentimental
Respectful of the way they live
Don't let your dogs attack them on the street
Embrace the fascists where you may meet
If they should call for hate or violence,
just let them talk, it is their right
Keep your protestations silent you wouldn't want to start a fight
For fighting is what they do best
Embrace the fascists & you'll be blessed
And if they fire their guns upon you
Is life so precious in your eyes?
You would be sheep with wolves around you
Why not be gladly victimized?
And if you feel inside your guts
The Nazi dagger's blade
Embrace the fascists that you have made
Nazi terror cells murdering people is apparently not a big enough "first punch" to warrant attacking nazis when they start saying heinous shit. Cool. Nice intersection of privilege and cowardice.
Assaulting neofascists is merely a short‐term strategy, so I personally feel neutral about it, but defending a neofascist’s right to be tolerated is a pathetic waste of time. Our class’s conflict with neofascists is the inevitable byproduct of class struggle. Somebody getting on his knees and begging my people to leave them alone isn’t going to fix anything. One may as well beg unionizers to stop striking against their employers.
If you attack anyone, even a nazi, by throwing the first punch, you are worse than them.
This is a sure indication that the author knows nothing about either Fascism or how the status quo maintains itself.
