It’s a really bad idea - forcing your own political opinions is a key characteristic of the ‘fascism’ you claim to want to ban.
Germany has a usable definition for bannable behavior, as there already is a law to ban entire parties. That criterion is having the “goal of overturning liberal-democratic basic order (FDGO)”. I would imagine that this criterion would be used here as well.
