They can't do that. The left has never been able to engage the actual right wing ("far right") in debate openly, they rely on either violence or in forcing the opposition to concede to their worldview in advance (eg "racism is wrong, you must agree that it's wrong or I will ban you, now try to argue your point of view under that restriction").
The left will only debate with milquetoast "conservatives" who have already conceded to the leftist worldview and are hamstrung on that basis.
But they should be careful, because after "punch a nazi" comes "shoot a marxist", and this time there's no USSR to save them.

The right has never been able to engage the actual left wing ("rational people") in debate openly, they rely on either violence or in forcing the opposition to concede to their worldview in advance (eg "liberals are racist, you must agree that they're racist or I will ban you, now try to argue your point of view under that restriction").
"But they should be careful, because after "punch a nazi" comes "shoot a marxist", and this time there's no USSR to save them."
You got history backwards again. The Nazis were shooting Marxists before we got to the punching Nazis phase.
" and this time there's no USSR to save them"
True, this time the USSR is helping the republicans. And the left does try. Yes they might be violent but I see more violence from the right. And the right bans people and shuts them down regularly.
EDIT: he knows the guy who punched Spencer was likely a leftist and that Communism and Fascism are opposites right?
>after "punch a nazi" comes "shoot a marxist"
What, No tossing them out of Helicopters? Did you get tired of that phase?
How's a leftie supposed to talk to someone with whom they share zero common ground? One of them idolizes Star Trek, the other one wants to live in Game of Thrones, they might as well be speaking different languages for all the understanding that's going to happen.

Because when the leader of the last remnants of the post-National Front/British National Party/English Defence League can't even get himself elected in the seat he campaigned for in the general election a couple of years ago, how can they?
And there's a good reason why they never will. It can be summed up in two words: Oswald Mosley.
As proved in the above photos, they crashed & burned decades ago.
As Karl Turner of the left ist Labour Party would say to the likes of you:

And as the actual right-wing National Front & UKRAP in their campaign in his Hull East constituency got nowhere, and he was returned to Parliament with an increased majority, there's an extremely good reason why you never will: because you don't have the right to.
The fact his Left ist worldview more than succeeds - by virtue of his increased majority, when the actual right-wing FAILED - is a punch in the bollocks to your 'cause'.
This time there is no Fourth Reich to save you.
What's the worst about this is the fact they try to have debates or discussions while a bunch of no brains yell U.S.A. over them.
And YOU KNOW your lot does this. You LIKE people shouting down or talking over every reasonable point or fact revelation. One Nazi get a glancing blow will be hyped forever but none of your racist bullshit will be allowed to be revealed. This is how the right operates, with noise, violence and pretending they're the victims.
And you can't help yourselves because every "we're being persecuted" tale is followed by a "you better look out" or more direct threat.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
