Holy shit, they're not even disguising the fascism anymore, that's literally a fasces on their flag.

We should help them out and make sure to cover them in feces whenever we see them.

Sure, but it has a completely different historical context before Mussolini created the Italian fascist party. It was even used by left wing groups as a symbol of solidarity.

The fasces, as a bundle of rods with an axe, was a grouping of all the equipment needed to inflict corporal or capital punishment. In ancient Rome, the bundle was a material symbol of a Roman magistrate's full civil and military power, known as imperium. They were carried in a procession with a magistrate by lictors, who carried the fasces and, at times, used the birch rods as punishment to enforce obedience with magisterial commands
