I mean look, once you got Nazis they don't go away. We're literally doing this right now, because our Slave Power Nazis, who were nazis before we'd even invented a term for nazis, got away with it all and CRUCIALLY got to keep all the shit they'd stolen through slavery and violence. They don't go away, they don't get better - having nazis is like crab lice.
So we need a plan. Cause there's 77M Nazis in America right now and you can't kill em all. Does ANYONE have a plan? Only the tankies.
And this is me telling you, this is something anarchists fall down on. We're not good at "what do you do about people who will destroy everything we all worked for together to get just a little more power."
Because the easy answers, are things anarchists don't support - policing, gulags, firing squads and so forth.
You see me out here struggling with this day after day, I openly discuss how much turmoil it creates inside of me.
Because we can't just let the nazis be - they'll never stop.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I've seen a few people saying "hey I reformed my parents" and that's great, but has absolutely not been my experience. Maaaaybe if all of the reasonable people came out publicly hard against fascism and weren't afraid to straight-up ban fascists from society so there was legitimately a huge amount of social pressure to reform, that might work. But I just don't see that happening here. White supremacy is too deeply baked into the culture to change that much overnight.
