Reply #68: The Nazi analogy doesn't work.

[ReadTomPaine]

Putting aside the issue mentioned at the head of this thread, your analogy is flawed. If there were more liberal progressives who fought the Nazis using force against force, there wouldn't have been a Nazi party, as they wouldn't have been able to intimidate anyone.

Do you also have a dim view of union members who created and defended their rights with bats and fists, even when Pinkerton style union busters were maiming and disabling them to suppress these movements?

Again, this is not related to the sign issue mentioned above, only to point out that force is often required to retain one's rights in a society that takes a turn towards authoritarianism.
