This is how Nazism happened and took root in Germany in the 20's and 30's. First they had an enormous inflation in the early 20's that wiped out the middle classes and then a depression that finished them off. By 31' many German's had retreated into the heroic German myths of the past. The Nazis held huge pageants and rallies depicting their connection to these figs. from the mythic German past. This is what is happening all over the south today.
