    They’re talking about ‘affiliating with’ too. The plain truth is that people who aren’t fascists themselves still enable fascism. (Yes, I know, the whole “1 fascist sitting at a table of 10 is just 10 fascists” line is a great slogan, but at the end of the day, there’s no point wasting time flaming someone by calling them a fascist when they don’t think they are one, it’s semantics, the critial point is they’re a fascist-enabler regardless and therefore responsible for and complicit in fascism)

      There are people who consider themselves ‘not a fascist’ that also consider the Nuremburg Trials inhumane for having executed unrepentant Nazis. The line is intentionally blurred.

        Yes. There are also people who consider themselves apolitical and think excluding people for their beliefs is simply discrimination and therefore bad. There are also active neo-Nazis who pretend to criticism fascism to try and blur that line. It’s a complex world.
