“Punch a Nazi” was actually a mistake, and by conceding that ground, we opened the door for everything that followed with ANTIFA. It was a subtle deception. First, because on a surface level, “punch a Nazi” sounds good. And second, within a short media sound bite, it is very difficult to argue against “punching Nazis” without looking like you are defending Nazis. But it was all a rhetorical Marxist trick. When the left first said, “Punch a Nazi? How could you argue against that?”, the correct response should have been, “Prosecute a Nazi. Street vigilantism has no place in American society.” Now even “prosecute a Nazi” would have been technically incorrect too, but I believe much less destructive, and rhetorically it counters the Marxist’s magic spell.

The problem is that they call everyone who disagrees with them a nazi.
yep. "punch a nazi" is fine, but who's deciding who's a nazi?
