When Is A Fasces-Holder Not a Fascist?

Does this picture signify a fascist, as she is holding the fascist symbol?



No.

Not every fasces holder is a fascist.

And so, when the Left throws around the pejorative term "fascist" just because perhaps something seems to be suspect, please, check.

But it was the
National(ist) Socialist German Workers' Party.

Maybe she is too dumb to understand what she is holding, and if she did understand. Maybe she would think twice about what she is representing.
