The fasces existed as a symbol of magisterial power for nearly 3000 years before Mussolini came along and named his ideology after it.
That makes sense - I just assumed there was a consistent usage of it during the in-between, and had never heard otherwise. Thanks!
Fun fact: fasces is also the etymological origin of the slur for a gay man that also means a type of odds-and-ends meatball and a bundle of sticks.
In that case, as long as we separate it from the “fascist” connotation, I think anyone who doesn’t identify as cishet should be encouraged to carry/use sticks and axes during pride month. Only seems fair
