Sure "No Fascists Allowed" is an enforceable and testable rule.

"Is this person a fascist?"

Ban them.

"How do you define fascist?"

They act in ways similar to how other fascists act. They act in ways that promote nationalism, authoritarianism, racism, sexism, bigotry, antisemitism, and/or support people and organizations that do the same. Those are fascists.

The fact that people are so worried about how to define fascists is because they want to know exactly how much of all of that behavior they can get away with before getting banned. So you start with "No Fascists Allowed". Tell them right up front NONE of that shit is allowed. If they're arguing about how you should allow a little of it, that's because they want to do a whole lot of it, so you just skip to the end and ban them.

No Fascists Allowed mens you don't have to allow fascists a platform to spread their garbage. You don't have to wait until they break a rule in your particular space. If you figure out they're a J6er or a Qanon or whatever just straight up ban them, even if they've never been caught doing shit in your space - because they will. Eventually. And you probably won't hear about it or see it until after they've already gotten a bunch of their friends into the space and already driven out a bunch of marginalized people.

Zero. Tolerance. For. Fascists.
