      Its always a bit funny to see people conflate the two, by simply applying the “bad = bad” rubric.

      Fascists, for all their faults, do tend to have a certain degree of popular appeal. Meanwhile, modern day robber barons mostly just have a bunch of armed minions ready to terrorize anyone that crosses them in the midst of their local looting and pillaging.
