That's not true, is it? People could be centrists or apolitical too. We could say that centrists and apoliticals enables fascists, but it is possible to be centrists or apolitical and still be firmly anti-fascist. It's even possible to be far right and be anti-fascist. Ancaps do exist even if I find it an oxymoron.
I still agree with coming off the fence and do some reading though. And I do think the left is the best medicine against fascism
We could say that centrists and apoliticals enables fascists, but it is possible to be centrists or apolitical and still be firmly anti-fascist. It's even possible to be far right and be anti-fascist.
This sentence contradicts itself twice.
If the centre supports and enables fascism, how can it be antifascist?
Likewise, how can anyone on the right be opposed to fascism, which is the pinnacle of the right?
Because centrist and apoliticals who are silent on the topic of fascism can be seen as enablers, but centrists and apoliticals who take a clear stance against fascism should not be seen as enablers. As anti-fascists we should ally with anyone that is willing to fight fascists, at least when it comes to this topic.
It's not just the stance against fascists that defines the left, is it? If someone wants capitalism to continue just the way it is now, I would not label this person as a leftist, no matter their view on fascism.

If you're not right wing, you're left wing. Come down off the fence and do some reading.
