I don’t know what you mean by that—blackmailed? Many oligarchs genuinely like fascism, because fascism serves their interests. There’s no reason to doubt that the richest person in the world might financially support fascism in order to suppress labor and slash regulations & taxes. Every fascist movement has been funded & organized by capitalists; they’re not grassroots movements.
