I can see why the fascist left has to use violence to prevent conservative speakers like Ann Coulter and Ben Shapiro from appearing on college campuses. It's pretty clear that articulate speakers who can defend their arguments are a threat to college students who have never heard strong, conservative arguments and that might cause some of them to leave the plantation. But I don't understand why they are so afraid of Nazis and the klan.
People who spout Nazi and KKK rhetoric are pathetic losers. They are the perfect people to put on stage and then mock them and show how foolish they are. But the left doesn't do this, instead they prevent them from speaking at all. Why are they afraid of "sunlight being the best disinfectant"?
They can't really believe that Nazis, given a chance to speak freely, would actually convert people to their way of thinking, can they?
Are they afraid that having to debate Nazis would mean having to demonstrate that their ideas are better (or actually any different)?
Or do they simply want to equate any conservative with Nazis and having only 50 Nazis show up to an event would make it obvious that they are shunned by the right as much as the left?
