What is the meaning of Mussolini's party flag?

In order to attract a wide range of followers, Mussolini not only carried out demagogic propaganda, but also formulated party flag, party emblem and Italy (which is also the source of the party's name) as the symbol of a bunch of sticks of fascist parties. This was once the symbol of the high-ranking officials in ancient Rome, and Mussolini regarded it as the party emblem of the fascist party. A bunch of sticks are tied together with an axe in the middle. The stick symbolizes the people and the axe symbolizes the leader, which means that the people must absolutely obey their brave leader. At the same time, this symbol also symbolizes the ancient glory of the Italian people.
