That is exactly why I included the "such a war as the present one" part of the quote. During other (normal, I guess?) times, pacifism is obviously perfectly fine (even preferred, I would say).

Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, ‘he that is not with me is against me’.
