Since the people in charge went full fascist.
The billionaire parasite class ARE the people in charge.
The fascists serve them, genius. That's the whole point of fascism.
Yes that's what we're Increasingly moving towards.
Beware though, that all of this is a spectrum...
Billionaires or not, they don't have control of state militaries (yet at least). In fascism, the state is at the top, and corporations bend the knee and become an extension of the government to be used at the whims of its authoritarian leader.
What it ultimately comes down to is power and the capacity for violence. It doesn't matter how much money you have, if a government can just drone strike your entire family, does it?
