Today is probably a good day for you to learn the definition of fascism, then. The axe in the fasces isn't a symbol of cutting firewood.

I suppose the sword in the hand of the lion of the coat of arms of Finland is for cutting elk meat.
It's not a hatchet, you can go Google what it looks like in <10 seconds. It's a halberd, a polearm used for harassing people at-range.
Plus, even if it was a symbolic hatchet, I don't think many civilians would like the notion of their government mutilating them and feeding them to a fire.
It’s a sword. And a sword is using for fighting.
“The coat of arms of Finland is a crowned lion on a red field, the right foreleg replaced with an armoured human arm brandishing a sword, trampling on a sabre with the hindpaws.”
But if it can be symbolic then the axe of the fasces (which, mind you, is a symbol of the Roman Empire, and not a fascist invention) is also symbolic.
