Benito Mussolini's national fascist movement was a fringe phenomenon right after the First World War and couldn't gain much traction in the 1919 elections. But soon after Mussolini was increasing his political standing and the National Fascist Party gained more members than ever before.

Italy has a bit of a complicated history with Fascism doesn't it? My understanding was Italy never suffered the same level of deconstruction politically that Germany did in terms of Fascism as an idea being almost annihilated (if only for a short time).

[@lanfrancoadreani9212]

[@groucho1080p]

@@misterscienceguy there has never been a nuremberg trials in italy, that lead to fascism still being present in modern italy

[@christopherfritz3840]

THAT'S.. a remarkable testimony 👍

[@lucaschiantodipepe2015]

Mussolini probably took the word fascism from the old Italian word meaning "political organization", "fascio" (in this way no more used in current Italian). In 1891 some people's uprisings happened in Sicily and they were called "fasci siciliani" ("Sicilian organizations"). Fascio was also the bundle, symbol of the Roman empire (yet used as emblem of republicanism in France and USA ; today the Roman fasces appear in the state seal also of Cuba, Cameroon, Ecuador).

[@AntinoriGuido]

the "fascio littorio" is a symbol of the Consul and the Roman republic, still in use during the empire - even though the idea of empire was quite different back then.

[@thegadflygang5381]

As Guido stated, Fascism stems from the Roman Republic and Empire with "the fasces" being the penultimate sign of authority. A bundle of sticks tied together declaring "the group is stronger than the indiviudal" as a sign of nationalist strength while the axe head portrays the weaponized nature of unity at the vanguard It is the antithesis of globalism which pushes for all those sticks to be hanging loosely except at the head where the are tied together by an indefinable group or force

[@g.lowenklee2268]

@@AntinoriGuido It's still in use today in many crests of institutional power, including two fascio flanking the US Congressional House Speaker's place in Congress.

[@gghost1224]

@@AntinoriGuido thats not why they used it, its for the the reason he said

[@liquidsnake6879]

Another possibility is that a fasci was an old term for an organized union of workers in Sicily and the whole bundle-of-sticks motif was common among other left wing parties, like the Italian Radical Party for instance. It represented the might of the united people against a ruling class. It's still very much rooted in left-wing socialist ideas rather than the Roman Empire per-se, though later most likely as they dissassociated from socialism they likely came to liken it more to the Roman symbolism as opposed to the original socialist intent behind it.

[@triumphbobberbiker]

"A few years ago The Guardian newspaper reported that Peter Martland of Cambridge University discovered that Mussolini was paid 100 pounds a week by Britain in 1917 - equal to about $9,600 today. The late Samuel Hoare, in charge of British agents in Rome at that time, revealed in his memoirs 55 years go that Mussolini was a paid agent. Martland found more details in Hoare's papers, including that Mussolini also sent Italian army veterans to beat up peace protesters in Milan, a dry run for his fascist blackshirt units The salary detail also was in historian Christopher Andrew's history of the British intelligence agency MI5, to which Martland contributed. In 1917, the future Italian dictator was editor of the Il Popolo d'Italia newspaper, which campaigned to keep Italy on the Allied side in the war" (source: NBC News website).
