MtheGM: "the symbol of the "fasces" a bundle of sticks, symbolizing the corporations, tied around a battle axe, symbolizing the power of the State."

(Not sure they symbolize 'the corporations' per se)

Oh?..You mean those symbols that flank the podium in Congress???...and on our currency.

Some people never knew that, or what they were.

MtheGM: "The very term "fascism" ∴ means absolute power of the state to prevent dissent by means of institutionalized violence against the non-conforming individual.?"

You mean 'Democracy' is an illusion??..as described by Little Hawk, in an earlier post, and several of my posts during that past 'election'???

Wow! What a news flash! But, nonetheless, you are right!!..and there are a lot of slow learners out there in Kumbayah-Land!!
