after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher's insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it's a good thing The Punisher personally confirms he hates cops who see him as a friend… making every cop who "wears his mark" or calls themselves a "fan" look like shameful fool in the process.

Has he ever been portrayed in comics killing fascists?
That's poetry.
Sounds like The Punisher: The End which starts with him in NY State Prison for his vigilantism when nuclear war breaks out.
I haven't actually read any Punisher, but it sounded more plausible than The Punisher being fascist
I haven't read a lot, but it would be interesting to see how corporate comics would write an 'antifa' Punisher. They would absolutely slander the movement, like with the Joker (Johann Most + L'Homme qui rit), the Flag Smasher, or Anarky. But it would still be a curious read.
Red Skull, Dr. Doom, and Hatemonger II, though the first two weren't mainline continuity.
Holy shit, Hatemonger II's weapon is a "Hate Ray" and he uses it on the Punisher to make him kill an antifascist Journalist! Punisher takes the assignment not because he hates fascists, but because they're infringing on Captain America's brand 🤣
