El paso de ganso. La manera prusiana de hacer marchar los soldados en desfile.
Generalmente remite a la idea de totalitarismo o autoritarismo dada su asociación con manifestaciones públicas y masivas de nazismo explícito.

This translates directly goose step. I can't believe I couldn't figure this out on my own

In Spain there's a children's game called "el juego de la oca" (which seems to be roughly snakes and ladders - although I'm sure the small child who taught me to play was cheating, so I don't know what the actual rules are) which with a suitably illustrated board gets the vocab across early.
