Billionaire Tom Perkins under-fire for likening criticism of the super-rich to the Holocaust now says the Occupy movement is like Nazism Thomas Perkins, 82, originally wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal of the 'parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to [San Francisco's] war on [the rich] His second letter to Bloomberg further compared the 'Occupy' movement to German fascism before the Nazis rose to power Perkins is worth $8billion and recently built a superyacht worth $150million Not backing down: Billionaire Tom Perkins clarified his Saturday Nazi reference by comparing the 'Occupy' movement to pre-Nazi rise to power fascism in Germany The California billionaire widely ridiculed after the Wall Street Journal published his letter comparing criticism of the super-rich to the Holocaust is at it again. Venture capitalist Thomas Perkins - worth about $8billion - wrote another letter Sunday, this time to Bloomberg, in which he compared the 'Occupy' movement to pre-Nazi rise to power fascism in Germany. 'In the Nazi area it was racial demonization, now it is class demonization,' wrote the Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield and Byers venture capital firm co-founder. He also expressed 'shock' over the windows broken at luxury dealerships and banks in San Francisco while the press 'focuses its wrath on the 1 percent.' The letter was written as a KPCB spokesperson immediately moved to distance itself from Perkins. 'Tom Perkins has not been involved in KPCB for years,' the firm tweeted. We were shocked by his views expressed today in the WSJ and do not agree. The letter was written after Bloomberg contacted Perkins to clarify what he meant in his original letter to the Wall Street Journal, according to Business Insider. Perkins opened his letter to the Journal: 'Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its "one percent," namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the 'rich.' This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. He continued. His comments comparing criticism of the rich to the Nazis persecution of the Jews that resulted in six million deaths raised many an eyebrow. 'The parallel of Nazi Germany and some people getting kind of annoyed by the tech bro dudes is exactly ZERO,' Kaili Joy Gray wrote on the Wonkette blog.
