"Wait are you saying the entire ruling class is guilty?"
Yes, pretty much? Do you know what fascists are without institutional support and all the filthy lucre? Street nazis. Are street nazis dangerous? Sure, they might kill you, they do violence, it's sort of their thing.
But street nazis can't take over political parties, and news networks, and buy up all the corporations. Without the ruling class, specifically nazi billionaires, street nazis CANNOT obtain the power, to do fascism at scale.
