Yep. Fascism started as a left wing ideology they haven’t let that go only the name. Fascism is Italian and derived from the word Fasces (a bundle of wooden rods) a symbol of power used by the ancient Romans and many others. Here u can see Lincoln with Fasces as armrests. 1000008372

The same bundle of sticks which the word faggot is derived from so theirs a fun fact.

Mussolini coopted the socialist movement and ideology and rebranded it as fascism. He was also very friendly and allied with the national socialists (Nazis). Fascism is fundamentally a left wing ideology yet somehow people brand it as hard right perhaps cos it has such a bad reputation and the left didn’t want to be associated with it.
