What is unclear to me is why you think that imposing, violently, your view of the world unto every other single human being you happen to share your country of residence with, is something that you can say is "tolerable".
Look at private property - status quo. If I walk in to your house and watch your TV (while you aren't using it), and you grab me by the arm and drag me out - you are imposing your view of the world violently upon me.
But I'm not here talking about any violent imposition. All I'm doing is suggesting (1) that the hammer-and-sickle is not necessarily representative of a violent philosophy, whereas (2) that the swastika is.
I am starting to come around to the threat of violence inherent in the H&S itself, but in the context of centuries of brutal repression, I think it is justifiably construably defensive violence.
