Living beings defend themselves against parasites and diseases. Nothing strange about that, is it? Otherwise they would not survive, right?
Our democratic sociaty is a living being.
Faschists, communists, religous fanatics, etc: they look different sometimes but in the end they are all the same. They all leech on our socity, taking full advantage of all the benefits of democracy (freedom of speech, being safe, etc), while in the end they all strive towards the same goal: to destroy it. They are in the end all the same - parasites. Democracies needs tools to defend themselves against these kind of threats. Here we have some, but that only seems to include against right-wing extremists. We need tools to defend it against all other aswell. I don't care if their agenda is against jews, black, capitalists, white, women, older, children, homosexuals - in any way they discriminate some group and is trying the ruin the very basic fundament of democracy in some way - our equal worth.
We need tools to defend it before it's too late. Look at WWII. If Churchill had a chance to make things different, I'm sure war would be declared on Germany in 1938 - or much rather something done earlier to prevent it all toghether. If people knew how it would end up, the thought of Europe teaming up and intervining in the russian revolution to save people isn't far of either.
But this should of course not be mixed up with invading some little country somewhere far away á la USA for whatever reason. Democracy here needs to be defended from extremists here before things go bad - it's not the same as projecting capitalist agenda anywhere in the world in the name of "security" or "democracy".
