There is no comparison to Germany in the 1930s, after the humiliation of WW1 the upper classes were vastly impoverished it only took a little Austrian corporal to ignite wholesale resentment of the way they were being treated.
Totally different in the UK today, it’s the older generation who own property control, the householders and business owners who want to see their hard work handed down to their family. Many of them (us) will say that the young, less fortunate should be helped more but in practice only help their own family.
National conservatism is the “haves” v “have nots” the problem is that a living wage is not a living wage, you cannot pay the rent and live, the only way to survive is with benefits and social housing and it shouldn’t be.
I don't know how you can even claim there is no comparison. I give up!
Incidentally, there were a number of rich Germans who profited greatly from the 1923 hyperinflation. For example, anybody with a bank loan or mortgage quite simply paid it off with worthless money. There was a huge amount of profiteering and black market trading.
National conservatism isn't just about the "haves" and "have nots", although people like Rees Mogg will enlist the help of resentful "have nots" to swell the numbers of supporters.
It's a culture war. The opponents are liberal thinkers, who believe in concepts such as equality. Hence, the attacks on those "woke" lefties who have been to university and dare to have relatively well-paid jobs and have gained some power. They might even usurp the power of those currently in control (how dare they?) It's easy to see why such attacks would appeal to the envy of those who don't have higher education.
