@danwentzel Historically the wealthy have been the primary supporters of fascism.

The week before Hitler gained power, Göring sent letters inviting Germany's top 25 industrialists to a secret meeting. At the meeting, Hitler said "private enterprise cannot be maintained in a democracy" and promised to eliminate trade unions.

The industrialists were so enthusiastic, they went on to raise 3 million Reichsmarks to strengthen and confirm Nazi power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Meeting_of_20_February_1933
