The symbols on the arms of the chair in which Lincoln rests are the symbolic fasces, used since Roman times to represent strength through unity.

Centurions, those who lead a hundred men, carried a stick. They would use this stick to beat soldiers for disobedience or cowardice. The consul wielded a fasces, which was a bundle of these sticks tied together, a symbol of his ability to beat the nation's rulers for disobedience or cowardice, as well as his ability to command the centurions into battle.

You'll find the fasces throughout our nation's symbolism.

You have been told "Fascism" is evil, but you were never told what it is or why it is considered evil, or rather WHO considers it evil. Fascism is the idea that "United we stand, divided we fall". It is the idea that the whole is stronger than the sum of the parts. It is the idea that while you can break one stick you cannot break a bundle of them when they are bound tightly together. It is the idea that by sacrificing a little for unity you reap vast rewards in terms of strength and peace. It is the idea that we stand one for all, and all for one.

So who is it that tells us this is a bad idea, a dangerous one? THE GLOBALISTS AKA THE COMMUNISTS. Why?

Because UNITED WE STAND. Together, we can secure the blessings of liberty for us and our posterity. WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE. NOTHING, not even SATAN HIMSELF, can thwart us when we stand united together.

Well, Fascism is not in line with American republicanism. The fasces is one of the symbols of our nation though.

Fascism was an ideology formed in Italy that believed the state was beyond and above all. It is an offshoot of socialism and other utopianist ideologies.

Where do you think Mussolini got his ideas for a UNITED Italy, bound by a strong Federal government?

Giovanni Gentile. Giovanni and Mussolini were both ex socialists. They agreed with the central planning aspect of socialism but not the lack of structure. They believed that socialism as it is an internationalists type of ideology it falls apart. They looked to the Roman Empire and made their new ideology. It has the central planning of socialism though it is ultra conservative and nationalistic.

Fascism however became less about central planning and more about strength. So really fascism is what the Roman Empire had when the senate truly went away. As for national socialism, that party was split between socialist and conservatives. The party was in a constant state of battle as there were the ultra nationalist who just didn’t agree with the socialist. For example there was Goebbles who was a socialist and then someone like Himmler who was in the conservative faction. The Nazi party by in large though was a synthesis of socialism and ultra nationalism. Essentially identity politics, central planning, and imperialism to the extreme.

America was founded on republicanism. Government is seen as a necessary evil. The most important thing though is that laws are meant to limit what the government can do not the other way around. The laws in our nation are meant to protect an individual from another individual or a group of individual. Take slavery for instance. The law is that no individual can be enslaved and have their rights taken. When the laws become things that take individuals core rights away though such as speech and movement, etc. We lose what makes us American.
