 @2a70c54d the two are not disconnected. Low wages for the many with riches beyond reason for the few is a recipe for civil discontent. A soup in which extremism of all kinds flourishes.

 @65cb3dfd didn't day that they were. Generally though in times of excess for the rich the population movements are geared toward greater social responsibility,  not fascism.

 @2a70c54d sorry i wasn't clear. I was trying to claim that the two are casually linked. Not to say you thought they weren't or were. Your statement was neutral, so I was going further. 

Apologies for being unclear.
