In this context, the symbol does not represent modern-day fascism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces https://www.city-journal.org/article/when-fasces-arent-fascist https://www.nps.gov/articles/secret-symbol-of-the-lincoln-memorial.htm https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/10/01/symbolic-fasces-lincoln-memorial/
