George Soros (born 1930 August 12) is a billionaire oligarch who has supported reactionary and anti-communist color revolutions around the world[1][2] which result in mass privatization of state assets and the immiseration of the working class in those respective countries.[3]
Unfortunately, he has become a boogeyman among antisemitic press for his Jewish heritage, which has helped to silence genuine criticisms of his shady activities. Additionally, the right-wing classifies him as a "left-wing" activist for supporting nominally progressive policies even though he has been instrumental in overthrowing socialist governments around the world. These liberal interventionists are becoming increasingly common as the commoners of the West grow weary of endless wars.[4]
In 2021 Soros and his fellow billionaire Reid Hoffman launched a propaganda company called Good Information Inc. to censor online voices that oppose imperialism and neoliberal capitalism, especially voices who criticize his own direct involvement in both.[5][6] Soros has called Xi Jinping the most dangerous man in the world.[7]
