      It’s a metaphor for fascism. Not sure why people think it can be removed from that context and be made a positive message. Anyway I think something happened to the comment at the top of the chain here as I can’t find the context for this anymore.

        The metaphor existed before fascism, dude. It was co-opted. Fascists love to co-opt leftist imagery and rhetoric, like the Nazis calling themselves socialist.

        You are, in fact, perpetuating fascist myth by saying it’s inextricable from fascism.
