What's the rationale behind "there's no place for political violence" when we're talking about fascists?

To keep the interest of the capitalist class intact and prevent a Revolution from happening
Ah... Well remember about that time the guillotine was invented? Yeah..
Unless you are a women, skin color darker than snow, LGBTQ+, non-Christian, or poor. We need to stop acting as if indirect political violence isn't done all the time in America.
"Political violence is never acceptable, now let's celebrate our war for independence with massive explosions" - Americans, probably
Look who's talking about political violence
That was a weird sequel.
Fred Hampton and other Marxists murdered by the American Empire might have a word on this.
And, you know, like, school children.
That violence usually is a result of failing mental health support during crumbling and dying Capitalism, not the State directly shooting kids, to be clear.
That's fair. Still seems to be quite a large reluctance to do anything about it, so it seems to "belong" through negligence though.
It's more of a consequence than a direct choice, we can waffle back and forth on how far consequences of direct decisions extend. You're largely correct though, but I wanted to draw the distinction that the American Empire is explicitly and violently anticommunist.
Same with Native Americans and Black people, not to mention the state-sanctioned violence against Hispanic immigrants at the southern border
Sadly true as well. America is a Genocidal Settler-Colonial Empire.
Doesn't count as political until it's directed at white people
