"Should" implies a goal. If your goal is to prevent those others from stripping others of their rights, then whether hate is useful depends on you. If you can sustain a high level of motivation without the soul-twisting suffering of deep hatred, that's probably better for you.
And somehow, I think that hating evil people is a concession to them-- they live in hate, and they've managed to draw you into their sick world. Better to act decisvely against them-- control them, contain them, or even kill them if absolutely necessary-- but without letting your own emotional state get poisoned.
Evil people don't live in hate at all. Perhaps a sick twisted joy at destroying and feeling power over others. In fact I dare say evil people can be quite happy.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
