That was basically how the Nazis started out. A bunch of businesses owners were worried about the rise of leftist politics in Germany so they saw the Nazis as a way of pulling populist support away from the left. Also the Nazi SA was used to break up unions and left wing party meetings to further disrupt leftist influence.
They wanted to push the message "We are the good capitalists, it's those other bad capitalists that are the issue."
All anyone needs to do is look at the groups the Nazi party targeted first. Hint: it wasn't Jewish people.
Best description of the US I read on the internet.
The US isn't a country ...
It's a corporation with a private army
