“Bundle of Sticks” (collectivism, not individualism) was Mussolini’s nickname for Fascism.
“The fasces symbolism with the inclusion of just a single-headed ax, with the blade exposed from the twigs or rods, was also developed in Republican Rome. The ax signified that the magistrate’s executive authority included capital punishment.
This fasces symbol has survived the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire to become the representation of governmental power that we see today.”
That has nothing to do with Capitalism, which puts the individual at the top, not the collective (bundle of sticks).
I always found the “bundle of sticks” basis for fascism to be kind of funny when you consider the English term for the same thing: Faggot.
So, fascists = faggots.
He he he….
