Etymology
The word 'fascistic' derives from the term 'fascism,' which originated in the early 20th century from the Italian term 'fascismo,' associated with Benito Mussolini's rule in Italy. The root 'fascio' comes from the Latin 'fascis,' meaning 'bundle' or 'group,' which symbolizes a collective strength and unity. Fasces, a bundle of rods with an axe, were ancient Roman symbols of authority and power. Fascism as a political ideology emerged after World War I as a reaction against liberalism, socialism, and communism, emphasizing nationalist and often militaristic goals. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass various forms of extreme right-wing ideologies and actions that suppress dissent and emphasize authoritarianism.
