You don't seem to understand the history, which tracks, if people understood the history we wouldn't be in this position, ready to hand absolute power to another strongman because our rich are afraid of moderate reform, just as in the roman republic in it's latter days, just as in Nazi Germany, and just as now.
You might laugh at the thought that industrialists opposed communism and socialism and in doing so enabled fascism in the mistaken belief they could control the monster they made.
Ha ha. I know right, the thought the rich influence western governments, it's laughable. As if the owners of capital allowed a dictator to take control because they were afraid of communism, it's incredulous. /s
You have nothing here.
