I always think of the flanking Fascii of the congressional chamber of the United States when I hear the word fascist. It's all over the United States symbols which means we are either incorrectly using the term or we are fascist not liking other fascist.
To me a bundle of sticks around an axe is about as useless a thing you can find. Maybe it means that the weapon of justice ( two sided axe or gavel ) is only to be handled by the many. Abraham Lincoln memorial had this embedded into his chair or throne.
