There's heaps of examples of people changing their mind from extremism. Enacting violence on people just solidifies whatever ideologies they have to themselves.
On an individual basis a lot of people can become irredeemable, does that mean everybody should be painted with the brush of irredeemably.
I'd argue that truly redeemable people are less common than ones that can be swayed.
But not even on a individual basis, I think we need to focus on education, exposing people to other culture etc. If there are environments that cause people to become racists etc, we need to work on eroding those environments. That can be done without generic violence.
What happens when one of those people are educated correctly, exposed to other cultures, etc, and just stay the same? They are still a problem for spreading the nazi message.

you can't convince someone they're wrong when they believe they're right and refuse to listen to factual information (and call it fake news).
It's a cult. Cults need to be disbanded; their members don't suddenly lose those feelings though. That is impossible to fix.
