Stopping free speech with violence is not fighting fascism. It IS fascism!

Wrong again...

You mean the concerted effort a few years ago to change the definition, and now you are dishonestly parading it about? Try a dictionary from the 1970s, or better yet the 1930s. http://www.la-articles.org.uk/fascism.htm

From 1912 to 1914, Mussolini was the Che Guevara of his day, a living saint of leftism. Handsome, courageous, charismatic, an erudite Marxist, a riveting speaker and writer, a dedicated class warrior to the core, he was the peerless duce of the Italian Left. He looked like the head of any future Italian socialist government, elected or revolutionary.

There you go trying to tell me what to think again.

I'm reasonably confident that dictionary.com is relatively modern.

Stopping free speech with violence is not fighting fascism. It IS fascism!

Either way, none of your cited sources directly support the original claim you made about what fascism is.

Also, I never made any violent suggestions, which makes your accusation all the more foolish.

It's disgraceful.
