You'd give your argument more credence if you didn't use Dankula, a guy who hangs out with fascists and lends them a platform, as some kind of pariah of free speech issues. Which he didn't even use as an argument in court. Plus, he wasn't sent to jail, so...
Basically incel and white supremacy involve the ultimate goal of eradicating something. So what are @RockstarGames trying to eradicate?

So trying to eradicate something is bad? Should we ban the freedom of speech of marxists who call for the eradication of the capitalist class? Feminists who call for eradication of toxic men? Atheists who call for eradication of religion?

Your argument is confused. Yes, calling for genocide is bad? The eradication of ideas and ideology is fine. You can be against the tenets of Islam without wanting the genocide of Muslims, for example.

I'm saying that the mistreatment of the capitalist class under marxism is as equally as inevitable as the subjugation of ethnic minorities will be in Richard Spencer's ethnostate.

But if class is removed, then there would be no class. That's the flaw in your argument. As improbable as it is, there could be a removal of class systems without violence. There's a difference between class, a societal construct, and skin colour.

I should point out, you're trying to make a point about freedom of expression and that a liberal market of ideas DOESN'T lead to violence, but also trying to point out the inevitability of certain ideologies lead to violence. It doesn't help your initial cause.

Freedom of speech is a pillar of society. Some ideologies are inherently violent. The marketplace of ideas is the reason we can keep ideologies from releasing their violent potential, otherwise the standard we set is repression. Read Mill's harm principle, it sums this up well

Freedom of "expression" is a pillar of UK society. I don't personally believe that any of what you argued really proves this point, in fact you've made a point of stating that you believe that violence is the inevitable end point of ideologies you stand against.
