Your main objective appears to be inserting McCarthist ideology in the discussion. No, you do not censor Christianity because inquisition killed in the past. Nor do you censor capitalism because capitalists did mass killings in Indonesia. You censor nazism, not exactly because it killed, like practically any other "ism", but because its core tenets are exactly about discrimination: "some ethnical groups are better than others". The same is not true for Christianism, capitalism or communism. |

Obviously it didn't work because, as it turns out, your argument for censorship is not actually utilitarian. I could actually accept, and indeed have accepted, such an argument. That's not what you're saying though. You don't support censorship of nazism because the ideology is destructive. If that was the case, you'd also support the banishment of other ideas which are just as destructive if not more so. You've made it clear that you don't.
No, you support censorship because you literally believe nazism is wrongthink. You believe this when it comes to nazism specifically. It doesn't apply to any other equally or more destructive ideologies because they just don't contain the wrongthink you consider unacceptable. Communists pay you some lip service to political correctness and they have total free reign to wreak havoc in our society no matter how subversive they are.
If that's your position then that's the end of this discussion since there's nothing more I can say. I do hope you change your mind one day. There's nothing more totalitarian than believing in wrongthink.
