Found this one floating around going viral. Has the moment that Richard Spencer was punched in the face, followed by this quote.
"Only one thing could have stopped our movement - if our adversaries had understood its principle and from the first day smashed with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement." - Adolph Hitler
It is a loose translation of something that he said according to a researcher. In Die Reden Hitlers am Reichsparteitag 1933, a compilation of speeches given by Hitler, he said this.
Eine einzige Gefahr konnte es gegen diese Entwicklung geben: Wenn der Gegner das Prinzip erkannte, Klarheit über diese Gedanken erhielt und jeden Widerstand vermied. Oder wenn er mit letzter Brutalität am ersten Tag den ersten Keim der neuen Sammlung vernichtete.
Only one danger could have jeopardised this development – if our adversaries had understood its principle, established a clear understanding of our ideas, and not offered any resistance. Or, alternatively, if they had from the first day annihilated with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement.
