To call this a “disagreement” is an unspeakable slight against millions of dead.

This is a fear supported by the tremendous weight of our history, and by the fact that we had to fight the bloodiest war of our species’ existence the last time Nazism came into conflict with modern democracy. Yes, it could be said that I “disagree” with Spencer that a genocide of Black Americans is desirable, but I believe he should be punched because of the very real risk that he could galvanize such an event into actually happening. Such generalizing language is intellectually lazy at the best of times here it is outright deadly. “you support punching someone who disagrees with you”). With that in mind, we must be very explicit about what Nazism’s relationship to democracy must be, and refuse dangerous, whitewashing euphemisms when discussing it (e.g. Nazism serves as a refuge for whites dislocated by mass society and modernity, who seek someone to blame for their anomic dread.
