This post is a bit funny, but also demonstrative of why it's important to know what you're talking about if you want to make a good point.
While you're trying to raise a reasonable question (how much do you need to know about something to ban it), your lack of understanding on the topic undermines what you're trying to say, as you're making a very significant factual mistake by confusing Nazism and fascism.
I don't think fascism is banned anywhere. Nazism is. There have been several fascist governments since the Nazis, and support of clearly fascist ideas is pretty common. (Although that depends a lot on how you categorize ideas, so let's not go into details there.)
Nazism is essentially a subcategory of fascism. #NotAllFascists start concentration camps
