To paraphrase JFK: those who prevent peaceful self-expression make violent self-expression inevitable.

I don't think Cloudflare is preventing DailyStormer from engaging in peaceful expression. They are just not going to help them do it.
And based on events in Charlottesville, white supremacy is inherently a violent movement & don't need any excuses to engage in violence. If they say they engage in violence because media & internet companies shut them out, I'm not sure I buy that excuse.

They've been marching for years without violence.
Antifa, on the other hand...when have they ever protested without violence?
"They've been marching for years without violence."
And then, when they felt they had a government sympathetic to their aims, they stopped being non-violent, and stopped covering their faces to hide their identities. And someone died being run over with a car, many people were brutally beaten (this has been captured on videotape), and two cops died responding to the chaos they caused.
I don't know about the history of "Antifa" violence but I do know what I can see with my own eyes, which is that Nazis are violent. Their expressed philosophy of government is of white nationalism, of removing all non-whites from the nation (whether through deportation or genocide). It is a proposal of mass violence. It is a movement of violence.
