Not really, but kind of. The bundle of sticks parable was a separate thing for most of the history of the symbol until it was partly merged into the meaning in the 1600s or so. I'd argue even then the difference is cooperation to resist vs the subservience of a peasant empowering the person who oppresses him under the guise of harming their enemies.

Thanks for the details. I always appreciate having more context.
