By 1925 Hitler had incited a riot / failed coup and been jailed for it, so that didn’t stop him either. It didn’t stop his ideas from spreading, correct, but the alternative (letting him speak freely in public) may well have seen an acceleration and extension of what happened in the end. You can’t outlaw an idea, but you can try and stop / slow that idea being weaponised.
