That could definitely be part of the strategy, but it’s honestly simpler.

Taxing the rich and addressing wealth inequality as goals are incompatible with the goals of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel, and other billionaires.

Fascism is entirely compatible with capitalism, especially for monopolies and the ultrawealthy group above.

the right are statistically far less educated than the left. that makes them easier to control and manipulate into supporting causes that directly or indirectly harm them.

I love the poorly educated!
