The internet may have just provided a crucial window into understanding why George Soros would pour tens of millions from his ungodly fortune into radical groups that have a penchant for engaging in communist-style protests against — *checks notes* — billionaires. 

Leftist outlet The Guardian reported 25 years ago that Soros was already on record expressing sympathies for radical agitators raging against the rich for the “May Day Strong” protests. “’There’s considerable justification for being critical of the present arrangement [in the global economy],” Soros pontificated in regards to violent, communist May Day protests that erupted in London at the time, where participants reportedly went on a “rampage” smashing banks and shops. “It may have a violent fringe, but there’s some very serious forces and movements involved,” Soros said in downplaying the chaotic events that transpired.

MRC Business released a study revealing that the Soros empire doled out at least $115 million to at least 33 signatories of the “May Day Coalition” that were either joining or hosting protests against the rich in cities across the U.S, despite getting funding from billionaires. In retrospect, Soros’ emphatic endorsement for what The Guardian dubbed “a call for truly global governance’ in relation to the May Day boondoggle puts a completely new spin on MRC’s exposé:

So we need to form a different coalition which would recognise the shortcomings of the present arrangements and instead of destroying the existing institutions would create the missing ones – those that would protect human values – of democracy, environmental standards, labour standards, and what I would call a level playing field.

Talk about disturbing. 

 Here’s the twist: some of the prominent Soros-funded groups within the 2026 coalition constituted the very “violent fringe” he referenced in 2001.

Today’s May Day protests were full of unemployed people standing up to the evil billionaires.

For example, the Soros-backed Sunrise Movement had already been named in a groundbreaking Capital Research Center investigation as one of a collective of pro-terrorism groups that received at least $80 million from the Soros empire. CRC noted that Sunrise “endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40 domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments.” That coalition, noted then-CRC Investigative Researcher Ryan Mauro, “engaged in arson, property damage and violence against law enforcement personnel and utility workers to try to stop construction of this local police training center.”

But that’s not all.

Following the Trump Justice Department’s announcement of an investigation into the Open Society Foundations based on the CRC report, Sunrise launched an all-out war against the president in part to protect its “major” financier in Soros, according to The Intercept October 2, 2025. Soros fueled Sunrise’s coffers with at least $2 million between 2019 and 2023. 

Another radical group, the Indivisible Project, was responsible for organizing the infamous “No Kings Protests” in 2025 along with other leftist orgs where some had devolved into violence. Soros had fueled at least $7,610,000 into Indivisible between 2017 and 2023. 

What all of this shows is that Soros has lived up to his moniker as the consummate “Connoisseur of Chaos,” having seemingly no issues financing millions into fringe organizations that have a history of violent tactics if the underlying politics ultimately serve his dark utopian ends.
