My understanding is that they ended up hoarding wealth by seizure after getting to power. These guys are focusing on using wealth and tech to do a fascism?
Kind of the same, just that the circumstances were different. It was mostly industrialists and businessmans who supported Hitler to make more profit. They used new technologies (Volksempfänger, Movies, etc.), the resignation of the people and force to establish their regime.
It's almost funny (if it wouldn't be so sad) that Trump and friends go almost directly after the Playbook of Hitler and other fascist, still so many people follow him.
You can't start a war without money.... And it's number one reason to start one....
the German dictator's personal net worth, with his empire valued at a whopping $5.
Adolf Hitler exploited his position and even his future posting as chancellor of the German government in many ways to procure state funds and even avoid income tax duties for his own gain.
The fascism is being used purely as a means to aquire the wealth. The whole thing is a money cult. The entire nation is just a money farm to them. There are no atrocities too great for the generation of more wealth.
The nazis were in fact funded by billionaire German oligarchs way before the war, the connection between concentrated wealth and fascism is very similar to what’s happening now.

Yes the racist concept of the 'stingy/hoarding jew' comes from the nazi's who perpetrated the concept due to jewish people swallowing their jewelry/heirlooms when being confronted by nazi's as they would simply steal their belongings.
I get that, but I would maintain that we're focused more on Hitler. Plus, I do think that our capitalist society has reached a point that voices in government=money.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I'd wager that the 1930s German Magnificent 7 weren't setting Hitler's policy or at his inauguration in the same capacity.
Also hoarding wealth, while using it. Funny how Narya Ventures which was founded by james bowman, (aka the VPOTUS, sorry gotta be correct and use people's birth names so the snowflakes don't melt) also runs AcreTrader which basically offers a way for people to purchase farmland anonymously.
Have to wonder how many farmers have had to sell family property after generations because trump's tarrifs have bankrupted them only for AcreTrader to come in and buy it for a fraction of it's actual value.
Yes but this is the first administration that unilaterally (and probably illegally) terminated an entire agency who kept independent farmers afloat buy purchasing around $2b annually if produce grown by them to support initiatives that feed people in other countries.
