todd h: not to worry, I'm extremely careful with mankind's documents. Fascism is usually misdefined these days and works against the focussed cause. It becomes ironic that many lemmingesque, self-stamped political wannabes that accuse something of being fascist are usually right, but for the wrong reasons AND are part of the problem and not the solution.
This part of the reference is exact: "During the 19th century, the bundle of rods, in Latin called fasces and in Italian fascio, came to symbolize strength through unity, the point being that whilst each independent rod was fragile, as a bundle they were strong."
Make the politicians afraid to be in bed with a particular segment of the military-industrial complex and demonize the alphabet media and their lackeys and the bundle begins to weaken and look for cover.
"When in doubt, empty the clip."
