No. Just as killing Ralph Reed would not be morally aceptable.

In July '32 just under 14 million people voted for the NSDAP.

That would result in the deaths of more people than the Holocaust.

But less innocent people, as it would result in the deaths of zero innocent people.

Unless you think that those who voted for the Nazi Party were doing so because they supported the slaughter of Jews, I don't exactly see how those people are guilty.

I'm thinking you wouldn't have to kill very many of the top guys to get the movement stopped.  But if you really wanted to stop the Holocaust from happening you'd need to go back a little further and convince the French (and to a lesser extent the UK) to not be assholes after WWI.

Exactly. Hitler was a vocal supporter of the Fourteen Points.

You've got that backwards.

But of course I don't consider it 'immoral' in any objective sense to kill anyone.

Obviously depends on the situation a bit, but generally speaking, no. Being a supporter of a bad party isn't grounds to kill anyone.
