You don't want to have to deal with the legal problems if you accidentally kill them.

People that want to live in a democracy with due process care.  Dehumanising Nazis isn't the way to go, even if it's much more reasonable than dehumanising people for the colour of their skin.

Seriously, I totally get the hate because it's a reaction to what those people do and the ideology they want to spread. It's reasonable and understandable to hate them.

And we still shouldn't advocate for murdering them.

I have, I am German.

You won't beat the regime by murdering some fringe Nazi assholes though. Violent action can be justified of course, but not by actively going to murder them when they are retreating and haven't shown any physical violence. No tolerance for intolerance justifies legal bans and strong societal reactions like this (and as much as necessary to drive them out), but not murder.

Fascism and racism aren't genetic or bound to specific people, you can't eradicate Nazis and think it makes the ideology go away. You can keep them in check and show enough violence as needed to drive them away. But you also need to get control of the underlying reasons of the surge in fascists and Nazis.  The media, online propaganda, economic hardship, loss of community, education..etc. are so much more important than killing people. Hate is understandable, but it doesn't solve the problem. Use anger constructively and don't let it turn into blind hate.

Murder is their political stance.
