They organize to wrest power and wealth from those they perceive to have it, promising to give to the have-nots; however, if they succeed, everybody will be have-nots.

That's kind of what happened in Germany. They dragged themselves up from the Weimar republic by seizing wealth (primarily Jewish and anyone else who opposed them) That worked fine until there was no wealth left to steal. Then they had to plunder the wealth of other nations and were sucessful till taking on Russia which drained Germany. Meanwhile Great Brittain and America were wiping out their ability to arm themselves.

You are right. Think about how some of today's prominent Jews are at the forefront of the movement to destroy capitalism; but like the Nazi era Jews, they cannot conceive of anything destroying their power base.

Hitler, like another leader I could mention was a wormy little nobody who literally did nothing but read, and dream of power, hanging out in places and haranguing about his ideas and inciting against the Jews. After his "community organizing" of riff raff into the brown shirts, he began to gain power. It is amazing to me that he actually talked them into giving him "temporary" supreme power, which he never gave back.

After that, he organized the Ruhr Valley industrialists and a systematic takeover of the banks, It was kind of like a very small snowball starting downhill in heavy snow and becoming a juggernaut. The way he left his once prosperous country is history. I pray we are not heading down the same path, but the rhetoric is scarey.
