I'm no Chomskyist. However, the killing for sport line was mostly a heat-of-the-moment reaction to reading the story, which I am still deeply upset over. I was serious though about me intervening had I been there, however. I would have done whatever was necessary to protect those two women and prevent him from hurting anyone else, even if it meant killing him; but he really deserves nothing less anyway. He has absolutely no remorse or empathy for the lives of the families he just ruined.
But in the larger context any sort of proletarian movement, fascists should NOT be spared or shown mercy. Eliminating them would in fact be a preemptive act of self-defense, because we know full well what the consequences are if we DON'T eradicate them. This is a lesson that revolutionaries should have learned even as far back as The Paris Commune of 1871.
Capitalists are one thing, and can be spared; so long as they realize that their system of power and privilege over everyone else is no longer the way of things. I would see no reason why former capitalists could not and should not be allowed to be integrated into socialism if they accept it. Fascists and white nationalist terrorists like this guy, however, are another thing entirely. Their politics and vision for society are absolutely intolerable by any measure, and if allowed to have things their way, it would be a world full of stories like this one. One of oppression, harassment, and even murder of anyone who doesn't fit their disgusting world view. They are militantly racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic/transphobic, classist, ageist, ableist and would have absolutely no place in a socialist organization of society.
