Throughout history corporations and their leadership have a terrible record when it comes to authoritarianism.

They will almost always disappoint anyone hoping they risk losing even a dime to stand up for democracy.

It is always a pleasant surprise when a corporate leader does the right thing.

@danwentzel Historically the wealthy have been the primary supporters of fascism.

The week before Hitler gained power, Göring sent letters inviting Germany's top 25 industrialists to a secret meeting. At the meeting, Hitler said "private enterprise cannot be maintained in a democracy" and promised to eliminate trade unions.

The industrialists were so enthusiastic, they went on to raise 3 million Reichsmarks to strengthen and confirm Nazi power. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_M

@sam @danwentzel and poor of the communism. both equally bloodthirsty, one using race as an excuse for violence another the "class" (which is even more stupid). it's not the wealth which makes people evil. red comissars were so enthusiastic to kill people that "class" definition became totally bogus.
