One big issue is that to those doing the repression, everyone begins to look like "a counter-revolutionary" to them, resulting in things like workers striking for "more autonomy, more equality of wages, right to form their own unions, right to democratically choose their own leaders" being massacred by a "socialist worker's state"
Plus, look at the Streisand Effect and such. Often by trying to ban something, you just end up drawing more attention to it. Repression often has the exact opposite effect of what its trying to accomplish.
Yeah cuz these are totally the kind of demands a nazi would make
