I wholeheartedly agree.
How about it being a felony to brand yourself part of a party that was an enemy of the state at one point? Not citizens of other countries, but self-professed members of a political class or party that caused a war and casualties. Would the United States permit an ISIS rally, or an Al Qaeda rally in the middle of a city with a state University? But yet somehow we're allowing one of the most heinous groups in all of history, one that we were at war with less than 100 years ago, to represent themselves in public, armed and screaming for inequality, for murder of people that aren't pure Aryan?
This isn't a freedom of speech issue, this is a what are we going to tolerate issue. We won't let people walk down the street with an AL Qaeda shirt on, why should we let people walk down the street with swastikas?

- vageli 9y agoWhat is democracy without the freedom of association, which OP was proposing to undermine by jailing self-professed members of a group. We already have laws against the actual seditious acts, we don't need laws saying which groups you may and may not belong to.
- microwavecamera 9y agoWhen that group exists to undermine the rule of law and carries out illegal acts it actually is against to law to belong to them. It's falls under conspiracy and aiding and abetting laws. This is why you can't be a member of ISIS.
