To paraphrase my favorite bit, the author points out the myriad assumptions built into the notion that Nazis should be defeated in the so-called marketplace of ideas, namely:
1. That this is how marketplaces work;
2. That this is how debates work;

4. That "ideas" are what Nazis even have to begin with; and, finally and most importantly
5. That these "ideas" haven't already been thoroughly defeated.
