If it were about a mere political idea, I'd agree with you. But here were speaking about a party that's in the process of becoming outright fascist and facism isn't just an "idea", it's also a crime against humanity.

Your employer denouncing fascism shouldn't be any more concering than your employer telling you not to assault your coworkers. It shouldn't be controversial at all but part of the basic consensus civilized society is based upon.

That's a good analogy. Both for what this vile ideology constitutes, and for the state of a society in which it has become necessary for employers to tell their employees not to assault their coworkers.
