And if you ban Nazism they will just be more subtle like in Germany.
Which will actually make them harder to track, and make it easier for them to recruit.
Saying you are a Nazi group is a great way to scare off 99.9% of the population.
Even if you are a Nazi it is better to brand yourself as something else.
So I would rather have known stupid Nazis who are easier for the government to watch and track, over forcing them to use smarter tactics.
Banning Nazism in Germany failed. For exactly these reasons.
... Not really, considering Germany's barely got a public* Nazi problem, subtle or otherwise. Denazification failed because of Cold War bullshittery that involved both sides using a fuckton of Nazis to further their goals against the other.
Public Nazis are not the really dangerous ones.
Better have them public than hidden.
And no, not just because of that.
Even Stalin failed to kill ideograms he wanted to kill.
Killing an ideology is nearly impossible.
