Read this, and think about the effect antifa had by smashing a peaceful, law-abiding member of a right-wing organisation. I doubt the results will be what they expected!
In the final years of the Weimar Republic, Germany was mired in a grave political and economic crisis that left the society verging on civil war. Street violence by paramilitary organizations on the Left and the Right increased sharply.
In the final ten days of the July 1932 parliamentary elections, Prussian authorities reported three hundred acts of politically motivated violence that left twenty-four people dead and almost three hundred injured.
In the Nazi campaigns, propaganda and terror were closely linked. In Berlin, Nazi Party leader Joseph Goebbels intentionally provoked Communist and Social Democratic actions by marching SA [Brownshirt] storm troopers into working-class neighborhoods where those parties had strongholds. Then he invoked the heroism of the Nazi "martyrs" who were injured or killed in these battles to garner greater public attention.
Nazi newspapers, photographs, films, and later paintings dramatized the exploits of these fighters. The "Horst Wessel Song," bearing the name of the twenty-three-year-old storm trooper and protege of Goebbels who was killed in 1930, became the Nazi hymn. The well-publicized image of the SA-man with a bandaged head, a stirring reminder of his combat against the "Marxists" (along with other portrayals of muscular, oversized storm troopers), became standard in party propaganda.
In the first eight months of 1932, the Nazis claimed that seventy "martyrs" had fallen in battle against the enemy.
Such heroic depictions -- set against the grim realities of chronic unemployment and underemployment for young people during the Weimar period -- no doubt helped increase membership in the SA units, which expanded in Berlin from 450 men in 1926 to some 32,000 by January 1933
If you justify physical violence to silence someone for their opinion, you're giving others carte blanche to use it against you.
Today my twitter stream exploded. Madonna talked about blowing up the White House - to the applause of her Feminist audience. Antifa, masked and rioting, bashed and burned and looted. And a nationalist, known only for mean words, was assaulted in such a way that he could well have died, on the grounds that his words made him fair game, that he must be a fascist.
@Palaxar Women were punched, set on fire by protesters. WeSearchr offered bounty to identify assailants. Twitter suspended account. @Grummz
I have to wonder if these people have any idea what that word means? I think they just think it's a noise that you make when you see someone you don't like?
The limousine torched in Washington DC by antifa and social justice activists belonged to a Muslim immigrant. https://t.co/s1C5FxVED5
Love Trumps Hate, so they chant, as they loot, and they burn, and they bash. War is peace. Ignorance is Strength. Violence is Love.
And they justify assault with claims they are merely stopping a genocidal maniac before he could do anything - without even checking if he has even talked about genocide.
Hey @KeeganNYC, Richard Spencer never even said this. If you're going to criticise him, might be worth checking you have your facts right. pic.twitter.com/lbgoQZ2eAU
KING (interview): I will never change in my basic idea that non-violence is the most potent weapon available to the Negro in his struggle for freedom and justice. I think for the Negro to turn to violence would be both impractical and immoral. I would hope that we can avoid riots because riots are self-defeating and socially destructive. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/mlk-a-riot-is-the-language-of-the-unheard/
SocJus loves to play games; they are usually dishonest. They know damned well the autocorrect changed "mortally wound" to "morality wound". They don't care. Behaving decently is not what Social Justice types do. The ends justify the means, always.
And that means lying.
And that means violent attacks.
Note: they blocked me, and presumably the Kate person, right afterwards, so i don't know if they deleted this. However, here is the archive.
SocJus has created a Strawman of MLK, to put him on their side. They imagine him forcing his hand over Trump's mouth, to silence him.
They demand the silencing of all who dissent. In the name of Martin Luther King, a man who never did such an act. They have rewritten history in their minds, to make themselves righteous.
Here's what he really said.
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The self-righteous feel free to be violent. We’ve seen this all before. So many times.
The absolute belief that you are right, and anyone who disagrees with you is a monster, can only lead to one outcome.
This is what the left has turned into. This is what has become of the legacy of flower power and love.
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

I see a lot of people arguing that it's good and right to hit Nazis. After all, we fought a war with Nazis. And Japanese. So it's good to hit Japanese, amiright?
If someone is obeying the law, they deserve the protection of the law. There's no wartime situation to justify violence.
Besides, do we really want to establish the principle that it's ok to his Nazis - when anyone can define US as Nazis on a whim?
Considering that you mistook the Red Baron for a nazi, I sure hope they don't put you in charge of sorting the nazis from the not-nazis. pic.twitter.com/RKWtXyG2Il
Humans are fucking awesome. Without us, the Earth would dribble on for a bit, then all life would end, forever.
With us, life might spread to other planets around out sun … spread to the spaces between planets … to new systems altogether … changing the whole time in ways we cannot imagine…
We will adapt through evolution and through intelligent design to conditions, we will change our bodies for fun and for aesthetics, perhaps as casually as we change clothes…
We will combine with machines.
We look up, and we see no aliens. The skies are silent. Where are the aliens?
If there are no aliens, we will become the aliens.
Our DNA will be altered in a million different ways. We will speciate.
We will assume the forms of our myths.
We will be people and machines as one.
Aging, deformity, disease; these are just technical problems, to be overcome. Perhaps some of us will choose another path. Living on alien worlds or building our own worlds. Leaving this one as a park and a memorial …
Gazing at our relics like we now gaze at the pyramids… Wondering how the past people could manage so much with such limited lives. Then returning home to our comforts amongst the stars.

They see it as justified, because their enemies are "Nazis".
And people called them out on their bullshit.
