A Nazi can choose to not be a Nazi and be spared from defensive, anti fascist, violence. But the people who need protection from offensive Nazi violence: people of color, queer people, Jewish people, etc. Can not change the immutable characteristics that make them “undesirable” and therefore worthy of extermination by Nazis.
All Violence is not equivalent. You punching me in the face is not the same thing as me punching back in retaliation.
Okay, but what if the Nazi is sticking his little finger directly in front of your eye and chanting “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!” while his buddies creep up behind you with a big Holocaust themed butterfly net. Surely, then, you have no right to punch the Nazi, because he hasn’t actually done anything wrong yet.
Also, what if the Nazi is a cop, and then the cops investigate the cops and they determine that the cops have done nothing wrong. Then, clearly, the Nazi hasn’t done anything wrong and your hands are tied, right?
