Capitalists: capitalism and democracy are inextricable.

Also capitalists: “US Marine Corps Maj Gen Smedley Darlington Butler claimed he was recruited by a group of Wall Street financiers to lead a fascist coup against FDR and the US government in the summer of 1933 … Members included JP Morgan, Jr, Irénée du Pont, Robert Sterling Clark of the Singer sewing machine fortune, and the chief executives of General Motors, Birds Eye and General Foods.”

None of this is new or surprising.

Well, capitalism uses democracy to gain power, and then it's kthxbye.

And I very much agree that FDR should negotiate with the putchists trough a prosecutor and waive capital punishment for the cooperation on the New Deal.
