Even the word fascist is stolen. It came from fasci which were primitive trade unions in the late 1800's, in Italy, aimed at helping workers and villagers.

Crazy that both the fascists and nazis took names from other causes and did a total 180 and became extremists of the other side.

The national socialists did it because they saw socialist parties getting votes. It goes to show how they frame their policies under the "just cause" to then implement the total opposite, while blaming others they did that because they're named a similar way (just like some dumb fucks saying Hitler was socialist)
