    What are the fascist origins? From what I have read, it was first used by Taras Shevchenko, a poet who promoted Ukrainian independence from tsarist Russia and was described as “the founder of the revolutionary democratic trend in the history of Ukrainian social thought” and a utopian socialist. He didn’t seem fascist in the slightest. Then it was popularised by various nationalists in the Ukrainian War of Independence who established a short-lived parliamentary republic. That’s not fascist either.

        The history I stated was what I found from looking up the slogan. If it was co-opted to some other cause later, I genuinely do not know about it.
