Is it ethical to punch a neo-Nazi? We asked the experts.
Punching Nazis, otherwise known as "fash-bashing," is part of a long, storied tradition of anti-fascist violence, carried out by communists, socialists and leftists wherever fascism has reared its head. Captain America did it. Indiana Jones did it. Even Geraldo Rivera did it once on his own talk show when a group of skinhead guests started brawling with other guests. Since Trump's campaign became a boon to white supremacists, memes promoting aggression against the alt-right dominate Twitter, private Facebook groups and subreddits. But is punching a Nazi ethical? More important, is it a viable way to stop fascists? Mic asked the experts: ethicists and academics who specialize in moral dilemmas and political activism. The ethicists all agreed... https://mic.com/articles/160203/is-it-ethical-to-punch-a-neo-nazi-we-asked-t...

The real question is whether punching is an effective method. Stronger more mechanized methods might apply. --- Marina

I figure those 'ethicists' were all peer-reviewed by the same people leading to consistency of response in favor of their handlers, the State. A well known professor informs me otherwise: https://twitter.com/AuntieImperial/status/807773969038327808
