What Marinetti named passéism

“The Fascist Revolution again, to revert to the political scene, is an imitation of antiquity. The fasces are the axes of the lectors; the roman salute is revived; and the Roman Empire is to be resuscitated, Mussolini continually announces. It is interesting to remember it did not begin that way, but in an exclusive glorification of the Present. For fascism is an adaptation, or prolongation, only, of futurism.” - Wyndham Lewis, Time and Western Man, Book I, ch. VIII, p. 35-36.
