lmao

Despite being a socialist organization that prides itself on its supposed working class, anti-capitalist orientations, The People’s Forum has been the recipient of over $18 million through donor-advised fund provider Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund.

So does Tricontinental Institute. From what I understand, this is a banking mechanism for making anonymous donations. This is not Goldman Sachs funding them, this is Goldman Sachs transferring the money to them from third parties.

Socialists are finally influential enough in American politics to receive pay to play donations from Goldman Sachs. What a joyous day.

It's not money from Goldman Sachs. They're the middleman. From what I understand, this is a way to make anonymous donations.

People tried to make hay out of Vijay Prashad's org receiving money this way too. Not saying it doesn't deserve investigation, it just isn't what people are saying it is

Agreed. Donor-advised fund means that bourgeoisie class traitors don't want to reveal themselves but want to fund the effort.

18 fucking million?

In my mind's eye the People’s Forum CEO living in a fairly nice penthouse.
