There’s no evidence anything can stop Nazism. Trying to stop it through enforced speech could very well accelerate it.

More effective than fear of government punishment is shame. Few care about pissing off the government in this country so that seems like a non-starter.

It certainly didn't work in Europe, where most countries have anti-extremist speech laws, and many specifically persecute open manifestations of Nazi ideology and symbolism.

But, well, there's still a neo-Nazi march in Berlin pretty much every year. And it's larger than Charlottesville one was.

Oh, we have plenty of evidence that some things can stop Nazism. The question is if you want to dedicate another couple of 10's of thousands of acres to war graves.

War can stop anything. That much is trivial.
