This position holds that it is acceptable to punch Nazis. Its arguments contend that those targeted by Nazi ideology, not outsiders, may judge how to resist it; that fascists operate outside democratic norms; and that Nazism is a genuine danger that may be met with force.

- It is not up for outsiders to judge resistance movementsWe (as observers) will never know the full extent of the harm caused by Neo-Nazis and other hateful groups. Morally policing the actions of a group is a further act of opression that works to de-legitimize their struggle and give the illusion that there is some kind of shared culpability, when a group is actually acting in defence.
- Nazis represent a real danger so they must be stopped by any means
- Fascists don't adhere to the law so they must be dealt with keeping this in mind
