Is Killing a Fascist Okay?

I talked to a fellow yesterday
Who said killing a fascist is okay.

He said
We kill people all the time
Sometimes without reason or rhyme
Many are surprised, but some are not
At times we get it wrong, but some say, so what.

He said
We kill murderers on death row
Mostly fast but sometimes slow
Many are guilty, but some are not
At times we get it wrong, but some say, so what.

He said
Our drones kill somewhere with precision
Technicians far off make the decision
Many are enemies, but some are not
At times they get it wrong, but some say, so what.

He said
Our cops in cities are trained to kill
Crooks or bystanders who defy their will
Many are criminals, but some are not
At times they get it wrong, but some say, so what.

He said
Since we sometimes kill accidentally
Why not kill fascists intentionally
To avoid totalitarian bloom
To avoid environmental doom
To avoid communal gloom
To avoid democracy’s tomb.
