Add to this pathological behavior a moral justification for it based on philosophers like Ayn Rand and economists like Milton Friedman and-- voila! Greed is good becomes a fascist religion! And anyone who doesn't go along with the program is a socialist or a bum or a loser. And this is one step away from saying these people should be eliminated, the final solution in the fascist playbook.
Naturally, this begs the question: Is it possible to reason with fascists? Is it possible to force them to change their pathological behavior with peaceful protests and civil disobedience? So far it hasn't worked.
So what's left?

Sometimes that's the only way to deal with bad seeds or outlaws--or fascists.
