    I wish I could remember the book I read that deconstructed fascism. One of the key components of fascism is an ever concentric cone of who is in the in group vs the out group.

    The goal is not fascism but cronyism. That’s why fascist governments never last longer than a few decades.

    When wealth and power are concentrated in a small group of people, they become easy targets to a growing angry population. People begin to realize they have nothing left to lose and will begin revolting.

    Here in the US, we haven’t quite reached that point yet but I suspect we’ll get there within 20 years.
