Exactly.

I would suggest simply forbidding political userboxes, removing them
from any userpage on which they appear and unbanning this user.

Remember, there is a difference between modern neo-nazi parties and
the German Nazi party of the 1930s and 40s. They may have the same
political beliefs, but they are different parties. This user is not a
mass murderer, he just happens to agree with one on political issues.

And I don't think Godwin's law applies to a discussion about Nazis. We
aren't comparing anything to Nazis, in fact, we're comparing Nazis to
other things - perhaps a converse to Godwin's law? ;)
