I was thinking that another exception would be those who open their eyes and leave it behind, but then they are no longer fascists. So you could say their old fascist self is essentially dead too.
So while I do prefer this method as some ex-fascists may turn into anti-fascist advocates, and we can always use more help against fascism, it still doesn’t really counter the adage.
I agree that people can (and hopefully do) change their mindset in regards to fascism. Those that do may turn out as you mentioned, advocating against it.
I just don’t have faith anymore in that happening anytime soon (although I really hope people see what’s going on and change it).
Also my original message is a title of a song by Propaghandi. I would recommend it if you’re into more hardcore-esque punk.
I’m still hoping and doing what little I can in the meantime.
