Is it ethical to punch a neo-Nazi? We asked the experts.

[Razer]

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.

stop fascists? Mic asked the experts: ethicists and academics who
specialize in moral dilemmas and political activism.
