There is little to no possibility of hurting a comrade in hypothetical execution of fascist but there is a non zero possibility of hurting a comrade while body-shaming fascists.
History shows us that the former isn’t necessarily true at all. Many innocent people have died as a consequence of necessary violence against fascists.
For example, launching an artillery barrage or dropping a bomb on fascist positions in Stalingrad carried with it the possibility of said shells or bombs landing on civilians or Red Army soldiers.

Implying that we are not all fighting in the First World Posting War.
Joking aside, eduardog said “killing”, not murder. I can see why you chose to use “execute” in your argument but we’re not exactly dealing with fascists who are already neatly lined up against the proverbi wall for us to verbally execute either.
I’m not unsympathetic to your argument but I think the key difference is this: socialists rarely, if ever, hold themselves up to be physically superior specimens of humanity. Chuds and fascists, by and large, do. Pointing out that they themselves fall far short of their professed physical ideal does disproportionately more harm to a fascist than just about everyone else.
