It's unnecessary to suppress nazi speech in a free country with free speech. They get nowhere.
Tell that to Germany in 1920.

The nazi party had their own private army, the brownshirts, that they used to violently suppress other parties and discourage non-supporters from voting. Once in power, the Night of the Long Knives was used to get rid of any opposition.

Eventually, yes. It started out as just talk, as most movements do. Shame nobody suppressed them before they got that far.
