I guess it is hard for americans to understand some restrictions of freedom too, but this is how I see things. Sometimes too much freedom can be bad for you. And by making a reasonable interpretation of that article and conjugating it with other articles regarding let's say democracy and other important traits like freedom we could conclude some restrictions are allowed to preserve the common good. Nazism threats freedom and democracy (because duh it's fascism) and is based on racism, if racism is a crime you shouldn't be allowed to propagate ideologies based on race superiority or any other ideology based on explicit unfounded discrimination, this is how it works. I guess america doesn't have the need to such regulations because they never had fascism (real fascism not oligarchies) in their country.
I understand, especially considering your country's history. But we are a nation founded to a certain extent on mistrusting governmental power. The Constitution is largely about limiting both the power of the government and how much power can be held by any one branch of government. One of the things we mistrust the government to decide is what kind of political speech is dangerous.
When we've had regulation of speech by the government, such as during the McCarty communist scare, the results have been some of our ugliest moments.
