I can work with communism not being inherently evil. It, like most community ideals that only work when everyone is pure of heart, starts to fall apart and begin to bend towards evil above Dunbar's number of like 250 max.

But (and please correct me if I'm wrong here because I'm basing this on "things i read on the internet"), isn't fascism inherently dependant on subjugating/controlling the population through force, and expansion to increase resources (including more lower class workers/slaves) to allow the upper class a more privileged life style? That feels inherently evil to me.

(again, please correct me if I'm wrong)

The idealistic version of fascism revolves around unity and strength. The fasces is bound tightly to convey that people are stronger together.

Note the two fasces held by Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial, and Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign slogan "Stronger Together".

ah... the Roman Rod. Synthetic Strength.

Cult of Dionisius if I'm not mistaken, but not the true origin of this composition.

Yes. Much input on the Hidden Hand.

I didn't know about the stick thing until I looked it up after your earlier comment. Desis use that analogy all the time.

No, it doesn't. Please read the Doctrine of Fascism.

Everything must be for the state and must take part of the state. The nation comes from the state and only accepts those who work within its bounds; nothing can exist outside of it.

Mussolini spells it out in the first few pages.

The Fasces used frequently on older buildings have nothing to do with Fascism itself. It is about law, power and governance.
