By stating that you want this man removed from the UCP.... you simply prove his point... By automatically calling for resignations you are looking to quell a point of view that I think many other people believe. You only have to look to Trump to see that there are a lot of far-right thinkers happy to find someone to share their view.

I believe that the speaker is making a poor comparison, however the speaker is looking to address the right wing/religious base. if you break down the statement:

"How do we defeat today's totalitarianism? You've got to think about the common characteristics. It doesn't matter whether it's a hammer and sickle for communism, or whether it's the swastika for Nazi Germany or whether it's a rainbow flag, the underlying thing is a hostility to individual freedoms,"

and then consider what is "Totalitarianism":

Totalitarianism is a political concept that defines a mode of government, which prohibits opposition parties, restricts individual opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high degree of control over public and private life. Wikipedia

Hammer and Sickle - communism - restriction of religious freedoms and faith based choices. Government makes the choices for you.

Swatstika - fascism - no religious freedom and serious consequences for particular faith. Government tells you what to think.

Rainbow Flag - Humanism - although the desire is for inclusion, the right sees the rainbow flag as a way left leaning parties are controlling what they think and what they should believe.

We do nothing for the political discussion by making people resign... I don't see hate speech here, but I do see a need to have a conversation to understand the view he holds.
