So you support the unironic "throw communists out of helicopters" approach that people like AiB and tumblr fascists unironically advocate? How is a fascist any more of a threat to your safety than a neo-Stalinist or Maoist? Do you support the idea of attacking Maoists and Stalinists on sight?
If a Maoist or a Stalinist unequivocally states that they’re going to genocide people by starving them of their crops once they obtain enough political, social, and economic capital, I feel someone would be justified in knocking some sense into them once it can be verified that the person has expressed an overtly hostile intent.
Like the coiled rattlesnake, those who would trespass against us deserve a fair warning that such transgressions will not be met with acquiescence. I am not obligated to wait for a man to have his finger on the trigger with a gun to my head before I can defend myself. Consider the following (very simplified) hypothetical:
“I am going to go buy a gun and kill you if you don’t give me your property.”
“You cannot, this is my property and I will shoot you first.”
“I don’t care that you have a valid title to that land. I want it for [X reason] and I will take it from you by force once I acquire the means and support to do so.
*Aggressor, shouting from my fence* “I have a gun and a posse now. Give me your property or I will kill you.”
“Take it from my cold, dead hands.”
When would it be morally justifiable for me to defend myself in this scenario? Should I wait until he pulls the trigger first and hope he misses me? I mean I know the scenario is incredibly simple, but this is ultimately what it boils down to. Scenarios like this are why philosophers have agonized over the ‘State of Nature’ for centuries. Its why The Republic exists.
Personally, I am of the opinion that these people can be redeemed if they truly desire it and so I would not initiate force nor would I advocate for others to do so. Were I a more diplomatic man, I would attempt to ease the tensions between myself and would-be aggressors by inviting them over for a cup of tea and a dank bowl of my finest green.
