Yes, given the right circumstances violence is justified against political enemies. It is the entire concept behind war and policing. The question is always where is the line and what constitutes a rational and proportional use of violence. Everyone would pretty much be fine with me killing a risen zombie Hitler attempting to establish a new reich, and essentially no one would be fine with me clubbing a city council member for their vote on a allowing a building code variance to allow a garage to be built 1 foot too close to the property line. Pretending all violence is equal is a bad faith tactic that is rarely intended to facilitate a meaningful conversation.
