Even more, corporations that kowtow to fascist governments often thrive (if they've gotten in the good graces of the fuhrer), because the nature of fascism is such that big business becomes another arm of the government to control and use as a cudgel. If you kiss the ring, you might end up doing alright, and like Volkswagen, or IBM, come out of this unscathed and maybe even better off than before.
But it's a tight rope, and you're dealing with irrational actors who can (and very much will) turn on you in a moment's notice for any perceived slight. Or really for any or no reason at all.
