Bannon's followers are not the sharpest tools in the shed, but they are tools used by oligarchs.

The wealthy often think that fascism is in their own interests. Maybe so, if they tow the line. Step out of line by thinking free market capitalism is still a thing and they find out real quick who's really in charge and it ain't them. Careful around those upper floor windows. Count themselves lucky if they end up in a concentration camp. Putin uses the regular prison system for that. Cheaper and less obvious than the old German method.
