No part of the post you’re replying to suggests it’s opening the door to reciprocal violence.

The more complete argument is that extra-judicial action is justified when there is no other way - such as when the political process cannot effect change.

If there are no just elections, the only way to remove a ruler is revolution, almost by definition. In that case, “punch the Nazis” all you like.

No part of the post you’re replying to suggests they want to pursue or support tyranny. If some right-wing kooks justify revolution with demonstrably false statements, that does not justify their actions - falsehoods are never a foundation of justice.
