    I have read Marx. I’ve also read Gramsci in the original Italian.

    My point was just that “Fascism” comes from fascio - the binding of individual sticks together to make a stronger whole.

    It’s literally “Sticks together strong”

      Sure, but as others have said, that is just a basic political observation that most ideologies have made. Fascism is, as I said, entirely devoid of substance. Only the appearance of such.

      “Sticks together strong” is as much a political statement as “water is wet”.
