I don't think it's so much violence itself but the threat of violence. Nazis and fascists need to know that if they get violent, we'll return it a hundredfold in kind.

It's kind of like the phrase that a sheathed sword is sometimes enough to keep the peace. The threat of it being used is what keeps people in line. What we need are more visible sheathed swords -- unless of course we need to draw the weapon.
