Someone fact check my history please - Were the fascist movements in Europe during ww2 (and before) orchestrated / started by the elite class? Or did some of them just fund it once they saw it was the tide they couldn’t fight? I thought it was more of a grassroots movement back then. Now it seems to be more manufactured.
It was fairly similar to today, there was a spark among the masses but a group of elites took that and encouraged it, and then its success in various countries depended in part on how much the reigning conservatives allied with the fascists.
