Is "faggot" related "fasces" or "fascis"? And fascist + fascism?

[News Journalism]

Is the word "faggot" related to the word "fasces" or "fascis"? The
derogatory term "faggot" has an obscure origin but might have
originated from the word "fagot" (a bundle of sticks) and before that
from the word "fasces" or "fascis" (a bundle of sticks symbolizing
"authority" in ancient Rome), which was the origin of the political
term "fascist" and "fascism." http://rexcurry.net/fascism=socialism.html

An eminent etymologist explains that ancient Latin used a hard c-
letter sound, so that "Caesar" was actually pronounced "Kaiser." Thus
the word "fascis" was prounonced with a hard c-letter sound, not the
modern soft c-letter sound and, thus, the older pronunciation of
"fascis" more closely resembles the pronunciation of "fagot."

Fabulous research compares a translation from the Greek writing of one
of Aesop's Fables entitled: The Bundle of Sticks. In the fable an old
man on the point of death summoned his quarreling sons around him to
give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a
faggot of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son
strained and strained, but with all his efforts was unable to break
the Bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was
successful. "Untie the faggots," said the father, "and each of you
take a stick." When they had done so, he called out to them: "Now,
break," and each stick was easily broken. "You see my meaning," said
their father. And the meaning was supposed to be: Union gives
strength.

"In ancient Rome, the fasces [fas-eez] was a bundle of sticks bound together. It symbolized "union," or people banded together. Thus, the word "fascist" is related to the word "fagot" (or faggot (British)) as a bundle of wood (see the work of the etymologist Dr. Curry) and via the similar early pronunciation of the words "fasces" and "faggot" (the original Latin term "fasces" was pronounced with a hard letter "C" sound or /k/, not the modern soft letter "C" sound or /s/).
In another bizarre parallel to "Christian Socialism," the phrase "fire and faggot" described punishment of a heretic by burning. Heretics who recanted were forced to display the symbol of a faggot on their shirt sleeve for public humiliation.
Homosexuality was illegal under the old crusades, under early "Christian socialism," and under the modern socialist crusades of the socialists Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, Pol Pot, in North Korea, et cetera.
The derogatory term for a "male homosexual," 1914, is probably from the earlier use for an old heretical woman, and a reference to the "flaming faggots" (homosexuals were also burned at the stake)."

Latin "fascis" meant a bundle.
The plural "fasces" was the bundle of rods and an axe that made up the
symbol of office carried by lictors, consular attendants. The lictors
would go before the consuls when travelling or walking through the
streets, and anyone not giving way would have soon found out the meaning
of the symbolism.

Here is a new definition of capitalism -
Capitalism is your never-ending struggle to outpace socialism and socialism’s ever-growing taxation, inflation, regulation (TIF) and its economic ruin, poverty, starvation, and death.

Most people never think of their lives as constant work to endure the robbery of socialism etc. So much of life is socialist slavery. Yet everyone is taught to blame capitalism and to beg for more socialism as the solution. Have a nice day!

In the UK nobody uses "faggot" to mean gay. We have other derogative terms.
How it arose in the USA, my best guess is from the "fagging" systems of
old English public schools.

Your opinion of fasces and lictors might well hold true. In one of his
letters Cicero complains how twelve of them had to accompany him
everywhere while he held "imperium". And those rods and axe screamed
punishment. And the lictors were chosen for size and powerfulness.
Imagine a consul coming down from the Palatine in the morning into the
Forum. You'd hear them coming, and you'd just have to get out of their
way. Authority making itself heard and seen. "Make way, make way; consul
of Rome coming through".

But how does all that relate to sexual orientation? Were they all gay? I
doubt it.

All that speaks power and authority. Whereas "faggot" shouts depowered.
On the other hand, the fags of Eton were almost slaves to their elde
