I've argued this to Leftists; In revolutions, the dreaded 1% just take a big step to the left and become Minister of SomeBullshit, and go about their day!

Ever since the Knights Templars were wiped out by the duplicity of King Phillip of France and the cooperation of the Pope, bankers have been vying for power over the kings through control of the money. When the Russian Tsars were overthrown by people who wanted a democratic republic, the bankers sent Lenin and Trotsky across the front lines free of molestation to overthrow the White Revolution with their Krasney Oktyobar Revolution. When the bankers realized that they couldn't control the Soviets,they pushed the National Socialist in Germany and the Fascists in Italy to combat communism. Proof that the bankers are insane: they keep doing the same thing expecting a different result.
