Faschism is best cured with education, same with every other delusion or extremism in general.

If that doesn't work this is indeed a Reasonable solution.

Fascism is prevented with education...

Which is why that's always their first target.

The best cure is prevention through education.

But the second best cure is virtuous terror. Fascism is fundamentally at war with democracy - it's always good for fascists to learn 'Start shit, get hit'.

fascism is fundamentally a suicide cult.

there is always an enemy to be found to get rid of until there isn't..

So when they’re knocking on doors and taking your neighbours away to camps would you say that then is the time to be using baseball bats? Because I believe it’s too late by then.

They're saying the best way to beat fascism is showing would be-fascists a better path before they become fascists.

They also say the best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago, doesn't mean pounding them in today doesn't help the situation.

Depends!

Where the neighbors noisy after the quiet hour? Then thats a 100% justified reason for prison.
