As a socialist, definitely not. I don’t think that right wing books are causing the most harm. Even things like Mein Kampf and the Turner Diaries aren’t radicalizing people in the modern age.
Book burning (and equivalent measures) are 100% appropriate if the material is right wing biased

this. to add to your point if I may, i’d even argue against OOP’s stance purely based on a goal of retaining as much historical context as possible for future generations; this way it could be looked back on, studied, and eventually develop preventative measures against the type of wide-scale conditioning tactics we see at play. tldr; I think it’s good to retain such material, even in the worst of scenarios, in order to provide the ability for historians and scientists to study how it occurred

Of course. I study history and if material with a negative social influence were destroyed the historical field would not have enough material to learn from our past.
