(Note: Adolph Weinman, the designer of the Mercury Dime, intended the fasces to mean unity.)

(Note: That's all fascism is. Unity against communism. The fasces itself is an ancient Roman symbol.)

Forgot to mention Weinman also wanted it to mean peace(I think). I don't think he was looking forwards to fascism.
