"Billionaires, by nature, abhor socialism."? I would disagree. Witness the gifts of billions to support the far-left. I do not know why, except perhaps guilt and a type of innocence that being sheltered in a mansion might bring about. My observation is that most (not all) of the "very rich" are far enough left to be supportive of what would be considered socialist or near-socialist causes (BLM identifies itself as Marxist and look at the millions upon millions they have received).
A great book is "The Smear" by Sharyl Attkisson in which she names the names of those giving dark money, both left and right. Its about 95 percent left that get named, yet she is a mainstream CBS reporter without an axe to grind.
Here's the question, though: are they giving this money to organizations who's number one goal is restructuring the economy? I'm guessing not. The founders of BLM are self-proclaimed Marxists, but the majority of the movement (which is largely decentralized) is centered around racial issues.
Billionaires aren't donating to promote socialism. Maybe there's some weird exception I don't know about, but they're donating to Leftist/Liberal causes because it gets those same people off their back, and just like corporate media and corporate Dems that co-opt these movements, they chose to focus on politically correct symbolism and virtue signalling that won't challenge their power, but will improve their image.
