None of these were factors in the current crash, that's just fairy tales, magic thinking and posturing by self-proclaimed experts and ideologists who were preaching against capitalism. This crash was caused by a) dropping oil prices and b) the fears and uncertainty (well, increasingly certain negative outcome) around the impact of Cov-19 on the economy.
