When you think of Fascism in the 20th century, chances are the first thing that comes to mind is Nazi Germany and it's many swastikas (which by the way are shown in pretty much every movie and documentary on TV, so why is it wrong in a game, when it's just fine everywhere else), not Italy and some wheat symbol.
For the record, the Swastika predates the Nazis by several hundred years (and can be currently found in many European cathedrals).
I chose to model Nazi Germany in the patch simply because it's far more recognized and because it IS controversial... no dancing around the topic... you can't IGNORE history.
I'm sure if the nazis were around today, they'd love "Political Correctness", because it's just a fancy word for censorship and banning thoughts you don't agree with, which oddly enough is what the Fascists practiced a lot of.
