提起“法西斯”,人们就会联想到希特勒和墨索里尼的暴行。然而,“法西斯”却是一个古老的名词,起源于罗马。 当时罗马每个执政官都有12名侍卫官,侍卫官肩上荷着一束打人的笞棒,中间插一把斧头,这种答棒就叫“法西斯”。它是用来处人以死刑的一种刑具。倘若有人犯了严重罪行,执行官便吼叫着宣判:“用‘法西斯’对他处以死刑。” Mentioning “fascists” will remind us of the atrocities committed by Hitler and Mussolini. However, “fascism” is an ancient term, originated in Rome. At that time, each Archon of Rome had 12 guards. The guards carried a bunch of beaten sticks on their shoulders with an ax in between. The answer was called “fascism.” It is a torture instrument used to impose the death penalty. If someone committed a serious crime, the executive bellowed the sentence: “Fined him with the death penalty.”
