    Man has been around for thousands of years athis current sociointelligent level. It is not hard to extrapolate the current fascist mentalities back through the ages all the way through our barbarous past.

        Italy was not first. There was the mongols, the greeks, the spartans and probably many more that only rated a blurb in the history books

          You are conflating monarchy with fascism for some reason.

          The Mongols were governed by the Khan, who was an emperor.

          The Greeks had multiple kings of the various polises (aside from Athens for a while), until they were united under Alexander the Great, who was an emperor.

          The Spartans were Greek, so it’s weird you listed them separately.

          Fascism and monarchy are both authoritarian, but authoritarianism is not fascism.
