(11,481 posts)on the fascist attack dogs in the form of the "militias" in the recent BLM/Bundy standoff. A segment of the big bourgeoisie, namely the Kochs and their allies, have ulterior, economic motives worth BILLIONS in profits to themselves. Since they have a large influence on government, the government is treading softly on the issue.
As an aside, the owners have historically been reluctant to play the "fascist" card since it meant they have to give up some power to the "loose cannons" of the fascists. However it looks like there might be a change in strategy, at least by a part of the bourgeoisie. This standoff is similar to Ukraine in that a SEGMENT of the bourgeoisie is willing to use the fascists to get their way more as a first resort than as a last.
