They had to begrudgingly push out the New Deal because they knew that a violent socialist revolution where the owners get strung up from their own chandeliers was the probable alternative.

Now they probably think modern security and propaganda will prevent all that, or they're just ignorant, shortsighted, and greedy, and they haven't really considered the consequences.

It's both, but they aren't wrong about the first part.
