It's the Day's Day of Days! Because neither of us sees his kingdom, so no stranger can intrude.
The fascinating thing about Muir's little parable is how naked it is at the bottom of it. Muir and his fellow fash are only being violent because they're being forced to, by our bigoted refusal to not let them do whatever they want. They're the victims here. It's a message very much for internal consumption only. As is the follow-up -- sure, there might be a little hardship, but their enemies will fold like the weaklings they are, and they shall triumph by the might of the volk who will be emboldened by each victory!
We are seeing quite a few fascists trying that belief out in the real world. It isn't working.
