Why? Capitalism consolidated wealth into just a few companies and people. Those people want to be in charge, so they bribe politicians and help them win. The kind of politicians that will take a bribe care more about consolidating their power than representing the people. They rework the government to make it easier to stay in power. This is fascism.
It’s practically a straight line.
There are plenty of ways to mitigate this and protect against it, which the US had. These were systematically dismantled over the years and no one stopped it.
Rich powerful people used fascism to defend their wealth from rising labour unions and socialist tendencies in Germany and elsewhere. This should ring a bell seeing all the tech billionaires rally behind Trump to protect themselves from a Green New Deal, higher minimum wage, environmental regulations and so on
This literally doesn’t make sense at all
