The rich have historically just been open fascists as well; in a lot of cases they're not distinct colluding entities, but instead one and the same.

Henry Ford's personal newspaper wrote at length about the Jewish problem, was the only American mentioned in Mein Kampf (and impressed Hitler so much that the idea of the Volkswagen came from the Model T), and was awarded Nazi Germany's highest civilian award.

Prescott Bush (George H W Bush's father, and George W Bush's grandfather) among others attempted a fascist military overthrow of the US government known as The Business Plot.

And Walt Disney attended Bund meetings in the US through the 1930s, and was widely known as a Nazi sympathizer.

Exactly. Ford was a big fan of Hitler and actively helped Franco. Not because he was coerced, he was too clever for that, but because fasciste state keep the working class crushed which is perfect for capitalist like him.

This is true...
