What does it mean to you, to dehumanize someone? What is materially different about feeding an evil human who has done incalculable damage to the world into a meat grinder, vs doing so with the same person but this time, you feel bad about it because they were a human too?
I agree, we shouldn’t label groups of people as good or bad if they have no mechanism to move between groups. But if you think for a second that I will regard fascists as anything more than the ravenous, hate filled maggots they are, you are mistaken. They chose to give up their humanity and they could just as easily choose to regain it. Until then, they are not human to mem

Dehumanization is denying someone human rights.
Fascists can and should be denied political power, not human rights.
You and I might disagree about the specifics of human rights, but I doubt we disagree that they exist.
Good point apart from this nitpick.
