Capitalists don't want the market to crash like this
fascism is a particular brand of capitalism that circles the wagons to ensure that its socially privileged groups are the only people who can benefit from the market; this group is significantly smaller than the rest of the population and, so, it forces the market to contract as this action takes place.
in other words: crashing markets is a side effect; not the goal.
Nah, the big ones have their generous bailouts already guaranteed by Trump and the small fry doesn't have much influence to stop anything.
