Just want to say here that regardless of the political benefits that can be obtained with violence, I do think all lives matter including Nazis, and I think most people can be convinced of this if they can be shown how similar all our experiences are. It seems like once you realize that a Nazi is essentially a version of yourself with slightly different psychological pressures, you can realize that, as painful as it may be, they are human, and your desire for humans not to suffer extends to them. Realizing this doesn't preclude instrumental violence against them, but it can prevent the feeling of hatred.
Well, they're gonna kill a bunch of minorities before you can convince enough of them of that. It's not my job or minorities' jobs to make fash realize they're evil. Funny how people defend nazis' lives without putting into account all the damage they're causing to others who aren't them. Some people just don't want to admit it's past time to do some uncomfortable nazi-hurting.
