You don't fight fascism by punching them, you fight them by making a country pleasant enough to live in that the masses don't listen in the first place.

Why not both?

Punching Nazis is also pretty effective. The OG Nazis were beaten through superior force, not rhetoric.

Plenty of Germans punched nazis, it didn't stop them from rising. Removal of them is different than preventing their rise in the first place. Kind of like pests, you don't tent a house to prevent termites.
