[quote=arraya]also did you know that NAZI= National Socialist Workers Party??

Nazis were fascists and there is a distinct difference between socialism and fascism

Fascism is inverted socialism with a cast system. Actually, the parallels between Germany in the 30s and the last 8 years are astounding.

Also, Roman “Fasces” is on the wall behind the Speaker’s Podium
US House of Representatives chamber, United States Capitol

The “Fasces” was a symbol of imperial power in ancient Rome.
A bundle of sticks bound together, it represented the “many bound together as one.”

“Fasces” is the root where the term “fascism” comes from

Or the best description is:

“Fascism should more properly be called corporatism,
since it is the merger of state and corporate power.”
– Benito Mussolini

This is “fasc”inating, Arraya 😉

I actually was not aware of the Roman roots of the term. Thanks for sharing.
