Fred Koch's faulty programming poses the same risk to US democracy as those families you mention. Are you under the impression Fred had no business deals with Stalin?Ol' Fred didn't much care where his money came from before he got rich:"In 1928, Koch traveled to the Soviet Union searching for business opportunities, but he came to despise communism and Joseph Stalin's regime, writing in his 1960 book, A Business Man Looks at Communism, that he found the Soviet Union to be "a land of hunger, misery, and terror".[16] He toured the countryside with Jerome Livshitz. Livshitz gave Fred Koch what he would call a "liberal education in Communist techniques and methods" and Koch grew persuaded that the Soviet threat needed to be countered in America."

Nope not the same in the slightest, but good far left political stab based on faulty programming.
"In 1927, Koch developed a more efficient thermal cracking process for turning crude oil into gasoline which allowed smaller players in the industry to better compete with the oil majors.
"The larger oil companies quickly sued in response, filing 44 different lawsuits against Koch, and embroiling him in litigation for years. Koch was to prevail in all but one of the suits (which was later over-turned due to the fact that the judge had been bribed).[11]
"This extended litigation effectively put Winkler-Koch out of business in the U.S. for several years.
"Koch turned his focus to foreign markets, including the Soviet Union, where Winkler-Koch built 15 cracking units between 1929 and 1932.
"The company also built installations in countries throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia.[1]
"In the early 1930s, Winkler-Koch hosted Soviet technicians for training.
"Having succeeded in securing the family fortune, Koch joined new partners in 1940 to create the Wood River Oil and Refining Company, which is today known as Koch Industries.
"In 1946 the firm acquired the Rock Island refinery and crude oil gathering system near Duncan, Oklahoma. Wood River was later renamed the Rock Island Oil and Refining Company.[13]
"In 1966 he turned over day-to-day management of the company to his son, Charles Koch."

Neither did George Soros, the Kennedy's, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Pelosi's, the Reid's and especially the Biden's..
SO is there a point to your post or are you on far left drone patrol?
