The ultra-rich will happily march us into a dictatorship if we let them, says Julian Zelizer .
The wealthy themselves, or most of them, have long believed that any regime to the left of Dwight Eisenhower might unleash Bolshevik mobs, Zelizer says.
The popular mind so thoroughly associates rich people with reactionary, or fascist, politics that we may have become numb as to the reasons.
David Rothkopf : Wealthy don't care about economic realities of the world's economy.
He says they tend to think a booming economy can sap entrepreneurial drive and go-getter spirit among riffraff.
But the wealthy rarely refrain from moralizing about the less fortunate, he says, and it may be because they are the last to suffer from a depression.
He asks: Like relapsed heroin addicts the oligarchs have come streaming back to the high they get from Trump and his visions of paying zero taxes.
Rothkapf: The world is a pretty place off the charts now economic inequality is an opportunity to save us.
The only path to real and progressive change is when well-informed, well-intentioned people get organized and fight for the better world we all deserve.
