    Landlords and real estate speculators are big. Housing is a huge proportion of a poorer person’s paycheck, and western countries don’t allow you to change that with strikes like they often do with wages. You can easily drive a population into poverty just by owning all the real estate and charging high prices, and even left-of-center governments are generally not willing to meaningfully deal with real estate speculation.

      Hmm, very good observation.

      But one can also add that these fascists will make it so that people cannot unite, that is, they will be divided into left and right, etc. for example.
