    And every time you add cream to a carbonara, you can count on people from the country that invented fascism to complain about cultural purity.

        Sort of. The proto-pasta was either a sort of flatbread ravioli, or there was a dish that was kind of similar to lasagna.

        There was nothing like noodles until they came along the silk road from China. Which took something like 2000 years.

    Just questioning and not the person you’re talking to, but what are the origins of capitalism and it’s alternatives?

      Well…

      Fasces (/ˈfæsiːz/ FASS-eez, Latin: [ˈfaskeːs]; a plurale tantum, from the Latin word fascis, meaning ‘bundle’; Italian: fascio littorio) is a bound bundle of wooden rods, often but not always including an axe

      Sounds like a bound bundle of spaghetti with an axe in the middle would be awfully close to a fasces

      Some inspiration, but only incidentally. Fascism was really Italians wanting to be Romans again. This is why most of the key ideas of Fascism were written out in Latin, or used Latin terms.
