Why is there a fascist symbol in the American Congress?

>>3255382
It's a Roman thing

>>3255382
it's a roman symbol

the founding fathers of america revered the roman republic

>>3255382
The fasces is a symbol of authority dating from Roman times.

>>3255382
Don't give them anymore bad ideas, you fuck.

As others said it was a Roman symbol. Those fasces were in the US congress before it was adopted as a symbol of fascism by Mussolini, the nazis then copied it from him.

What about this guy? It looks like he really likes his fasces.

Is the USA, dare I say, the true continuation of the Roman Empire?

Literally all of these are applicable to the Soviet Union except 8, which Occupy Dumbocrats seem autistically infatuated with.

Racist stones everywhere.

Well weren't the Brits raped, looted, enslaved and brutally murdered by the Romans?

Are brits suffering from internalised oppression?

>>3255447
Please tell me this is fake

It's a symbol of strength through unity amd reflects the classical heritage of republicanism.

Would you look at that, yet another amazing thread brought to you by &Humanities

>>3255495
Nope. Dumbocrats are actually that stupid.

>>3255382

How the fuck could anyone in their right mind look at the way CNN covers Trump and think Trump is controlling the media?

Yes, and the Spanish were ruthlessly purged and stripped of natural resoirces by Carthaginians and Romans(and Arabs), and then did the same to Central and South America.

Sometimes i wonder if they ever noticed the irony.

>>3255447
The American left really likes to trivialize the Holocaust and other shit the Nazis did by comparing Hitler to Donald Trump

>>3255382
By its very nature America was founded on the principle of individual freedom from the Crown to a state of government that could not be corrupted from three branches of power, Judges, Executive and Senate power.

The Roman Republic was greatly cherished but also the founders knew that even as a good base the Roman Republic had its flaws.

When the Americans defeated 1/10 of the UKs army that decided losing men to a bunch of backwards, puritan, thieves was a waste of time compared to India, Washington suddently realised the country would not survive without taxing everyone who had just fought to not be taxed.

So in the creation of the new American Empire, the imagery of the bundle of sticks, which actually stands for the unity of a roman legion,

As you look into it more it gets really esoteric, partly because most of the founders were masons.

By the way I'm a brit, The fact an American knows so little about their own history is really telling of the decadence of the country.
