Nazis are about a popularity show of power to intimidate political enemies. You combat them by 1. Not being intimidated 2. Do whatever you can to show them their ideas are not popular and that they are out umbered 3. Don't throw bricks. Throw milkshakes.

Surviving brick attack: harrowing, heroic, convinces base they are political heroes defending ideas people desperately want to silence.

Surviving milkshake attack: Humiliating, no way to spin it to make yourself looks like a serious defender of liberty. Shows that people aren't so afraid of fascist ideas they'll do anything to stop it, they just think fascists are blowhard assholes.

Fascism and Nazism is all about projecting power against a treating political group. They want to see themselves as the white knights of serious, professional defense of an ideology. Tp defeat them, you have to suck the wind out of their sails by making them look silly and showing them that they're just a bunch of angry nerds.
