Regardless of your personal thoughts on BLM, the violence you're referring to is incidental; people involved in the violence may have ties to BLM but the did not commit the violence on behalf of BLM (indeed, BLM denounces all violence).
On the other hand, the neo-nazi terrorists in this country are killing people explicitly to serve their ideology. Hate leads to action, and the last time we let these guys preach hate unchecked it led to a world war and millions of innocent people murdered. We will not let them do this again.

They organize events knowing people supporting their cause will become violent, and it has happened many times. They don't skirt all responsibility simply because they don't issue official membership cards.
