I saw a wired or vox article talking about a lady that kept a database on these people, and it inspired me to maybe do something similar...but why reinvent the wheel if there's already something going?

As it is, we don't really have a plan for what to do after we've doxxed a fascist. Sure, we could out them as a fascist to their friends and family, and try to get them fired from their job, but that doesn't accomplish very much. It'll just make their life harder, and probably make them double down on their fascist beliefs. One of us could track them down in real life and shoot them, if we know they live near us, but that would take extensive planning to evade prosecution from the state.
Personally, I think trying to convince liberals or "non-political" people to become communists is a much better use of our time than doxxing fascists, at least at this point in time.

If you want advice on running a database or list of people with disagreeable political views, I would suggest reading up on McCarthy.
This kind of thinking is very dangerous, reckless, and dare I say it, down right stupid.
Also when you think of fascist, I fear you are only considering that such a person can only be right wing.
This could not be further from the truth.
I believe it's also worth noting, that passing judgement upon an individual and taking punitive action without giving that person a reasonable recourse to defend themselves and/or put their actions in context....is one of the hallmarks of fascism

we have this for now, though we could probably do a better job of it
