Antifa gain no legitimacy by fighting Nazis, for they are detrimental to the fight. Their violence doesn't deter Nazis, but emboldens them.

Again--what's your evidence? I think that's an open question. I just think there are moral/ethical reasons we don't want to go that far....

The alt-right is a backlash against efforts to stifle right-wing ideas. I think we can only win this by engaging the ideas & defeating them

The alt-right is backlash against NONVIOLENTLY stifling right-wing ideas. Bcuz they had no consequences to fear, they felt free to lash out.

Nonviolent, perhaps. But also authoritarian. We can't beat a backlash against authoritarianism by being authoritarian.
