    This is the entire reason why fascism is surging everywhere. The greatest risk billionaires and their corporations face in the modern world is the regulations of democratic nation states, so their goal is to overthrow them entirely.

    It’s not a coincidence that big tech is going mask off and collaborating with fascism. What more could a sociopath capitalist want than a monopoly under the state-capitalism of a fascist dictatorship?

    It all can be traced back to the regulations after the great depression, that created the middle class, and then went into overdrive with the clean air act and tobacco regulations in the 1970’s — of course it was spearheaded by the most criminally corrupt and destructive industries — a wave of pseudo-libertarian neoliberalism/conservatism swept over the world as they bought up politicians, and fascism was its logical progression.
