The left was different there

Runesson's photograph was published the next day on the front page of the Swedish national newspaper Dagens Nyheter, and on April 15 by two British newspapers, The Times and The Daily Express.[3] Another photograph taken by Runesson during the event shows the 10 Neo-Nazis being chased, pelted with eggs and violently confronted by a crowd made up of hundreds of attendants of the left-wing rally joined by local Växjö residents. One of the Neo-Nazis was kicked unconscious on the ground, then saved by one of the protestors who reportedly took pity on him. The far-right activists eventually managed to shelter in the toilets of the city's train station, hiding there for a few hours until the police transported them away.[3][5]

Back then Nazis were nearly universally understood as bad. Especially since there still were many living survivors of the Nazi's genocide.

If this happened today, the left would get endless criticism. But I fully agree we should bring this back.

I think hitting them with a purse, throwing eggs and making them hide in toilets is fine, but the unconscious thing isn't something I would recommend. They probably already have brain damage, they're nazis.

They understood how talking to nazis needs to be done.

B-but it's literally Nazism to refuse to tolerate Nazis!!!1! (Never mind the fact that tolerance would be the thirst thing to go in a Nazi-dominated society.)
