Wait... I'm sorry I have to respond again because this really just hit me. Did you really use GERMANY as an example of why you SHOULD NOT stand up to facisim with violence? GERMANY???

How did letting the facisim play out for ya there champ?

The street fights in 1932 did not do much to prevent fascism, to say the least.

Sounds like they should have tried harder.

Yet here you are saying if you stand up to fascism with violence you're being authoritative.

Because my country has seen what happens when political disagreements are fought out in months of street battles.

And the world has seen what happens because you gave up on those fights.

Are you falsely claiming if those mean ol' KDP hadn't punched Hans over there in the face the Nazis wouldn't have burned the Reichstag?

Because taken to end you would seem to be arguing for more violence, and 1945 has some followup questions for you.
