Everyone always ignores what came before to make all of it possible.
Have the backing of disgruntled, demoralized people
Have the support of wealthy elites to build an organization
Have the ongoing support of wealthy elites to maintain your organization
Collaborate with national business leaders to secure your organization for the long term
Collaborate with international business leaders to secure your organization for the long term
Once you gain power, support your wealthy allies to share power and continue financing you
Once you gain enough power and control and wealth, then you can start operating on your own and either disengage or remove your old allies because you don’t need them any more.
… everyone always likes to imagine someone like Hitler just appearing in history through the force of will. That is far from the reality. He came into being because an entire group of very wealthy people in Germany, in Europe and in North America supported or enabled him to get the power he needed in order to take over a country.
Hitler didn’t get to where he was through his personality … he got there because people either didn’t do anything to stop him … or they covertly and discreetly supported him.
The same thing is happening again … a tyrant is taking the lead and we all blame him without ever thinking of the wealthy group of people who put him there and are keeping him there.
