“together strong” can be said by any group. Especially fascists, who very much value a sense of community and strength internally.
But really, it can apply to all kinds of governments (“Together for the king!”) and economies (like corporation, which is pretty much ‘together strong’ in capitalist speak).
So I think if one wants to make a point why their system is favorable over other systems, they should not emphasize the one point they all have in common, but highlight where and how it makes a difference.
I’ll just assume OP did that IRL. Memes are undercomplex.
The difference is the apes bundle of sticks reinforce each other, to make a larger, more durable unit, while the fascist’s bundle of sticks is only there to protect the ax handle. Those sticks are disposable and replaceable for the preservation of the ax, that’s their purpose.
Meanwhile, a bundle of sticks is part of fascist iconography. Not saying anything about your views, just commenting on the image.
So the evil fascists got one thing right. They probably also thought the sky was blue.
We need to reclaim basic concepts when they’re coopted.
Haha, true! I had a similar thought:

They stole it from the Greeks. The fasces is everywhere.
