Of course not. But that isn't why we call people fascists. We are trying to mobilize opponents of fascism. Do you really think the world is a schoolroom? You might have done better on that strike (even persuaded more people in the long run) had you spent less time persuading people who disagreed with you and more time mobilizing the sympathetic. (Or perhaps your work there did not follow the theory you promulgate on this list. I don't know your actual practice of course.)
