Just a collection of random thoughts. Add any of your own.
1. Get informed. This is very important. Not all fascists are helpful enough to advertise themselves as such. If you know things like symbols, common themes and even individuals known to have an interest in such, then they become easier to spot.
2. Put an equal opportunities statement on your website. Very simple, but a good way of differentiating yourself from the fascist fringe and making clear they aren't welcome.
3. Challenge them. If they turn up on forums, don't ignore them. Call them aggressively on their affiliation and any statement they make.
4. Make it clear they aren't welcome at real world events. This is a matter of discretion for individual groups. Some would prefer to do this through shunning. Other's prefer to take a more 'direct' approach. The important thing is to make clear they aren't welcome.
Any others?
