In any event, I'm sure the guys who designed the toy weren't actually seriously endorsing anything political, much less anything that can be construed/interpreted as fascistic... they probably just thought the slogan looked/sounded cool and ran with it, without giving a second thought to its possible implications.
yeah, I don't think it was so much political or anything... and I don't believe it is fascist... the right of might is at its face value a natural right that is universal in all living things... I think the toy designers probably were thinking more along the lines of Salvo being the suprime fighting man- an army of one if you wish and that his might has the ability to thrust throw the enemies line.
