Wait: the one who wants to silence speech is you.

We are just saying that, if you want to silence people in the name of past mass killings, you have to silence a lot of people. Nazis, communist / socialists, probably even Christians and Muslims, yes.

Wouldn't be better to just not try to silence anyone? :)

No, I'm saying that inherently violent ideologies are different from non-violent ideologies that have been used for violent ends.

Good luck drawing a line. Communism advocates destruction of the borgeouisie. Is it inherently violent? "Destruction" seems pretty violent to me.
