Something you may not know is the origin of the word fascist.
The fasci siciliani were peasants and farmers seeking basic rights and reforms before 1900. Fasci refered to the fact that a single straw is weak, but a bundle was strong.
The term was later ressurected in a nostalgic sense to make the new rising popularists look like men of the people.
