There should always be those factions who vehemently oppose fascism (and death worship generally) in all its iterations. They should always make their case, condemning them, vowing to fight them and outlawing them as they occur. And there should always be those who would defend, even to the death, the right of people to have these, or any other, ideas. This conversation strengthens progressive's philosophies as it illuminates their pathway toward the elusive "more perfect union".
