Edit to add some more substance: I think they sum it up pretty well, he's not Republican and he's Jewish which is easy fodder.

also a healthy dose of projecting. since moneyed interests overriding popular interest is kind of the Republicans' thing, going out and accusing the other side of doing it muddies the waters, makes it seem like everyone's doing it, and provides a strawman for false claims of whataboutism, which is propaganda even when it's not based on abject lies.

The third reich wanted fully free speech for those in the Nazi party, and strongly curtailed for everyone else. Basicalled, what the right wing in the US wants too.
Eh... 30 years of misinformation campaigning will do that to most anyone. I thought, until last year or so, that guns were banned in Germany during the third reich. Then, I dug deeper, and found...

Nazis weren't/aren't leftists at all, and the left is pro-guns. This is what Marx said on the subject:
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.
Liberals are pro-gun control, not leftists, and liberals are not leftists. Leftists are by definition anti-capitalist, and liberals are capitalists.
I'm not a Marxist. I'm an Anarcho-Communist. From what I have observed, Marxists, Anarchists and Democratic Socialists (not Social Democrats like Sanders) are all pro-gun. So what Socialist,...

So what Socialist, Communist or Anarchist group is anti-gun? Certainly some individuals of those groups might be, but as a whole, the groups I mentioned are all pro-gun.

If you look at the policy, reach, and activities of the Open Society Foundations, it's immediately evident that the foci of democratic participation, human rights, and equity injure the interests of both would-be authoritarians and wealth defenders.
Whatever you may believe about "liberalism" (which is an increasingly fuzzy term that encompasses both civil and economic liberties), Soros' Foundations are more interested in promoting just, democratic institutions than establishing the right to be rich.

What I found interesting about this story was the description of Arthur Finkelstein. It reminded me of the way Vladislav Surkov was portrayed in Adam Curtis' film, HyperNormalisation. Both appear to have helped lay the way for the chaos of misdirection and manipulation in modern media coverage of the political process. These are some of the true villains of our time.
This is timely for me, as this week I saw a friendly Fox News headline in my G news feed regarding Mr. Soros! It kinda blew my mind, and I wonder how it felt for News Corp viewers. George Soros...

He's the bogeyman of the right because he's a Liberal Jewish billionaire activist/philanthropist, with the last two only being bad to the right because of the first two.

Extra funny because if he was a nazi collaborator and supported right-wing causes, they'd be all about him.
They restricted it only for non-citizens. Citizens of Germany had greatly expanded gun ownership rights.

I now can read German :)

I would say those are more authoritarian measures than a left/right paradigm, and the right wing definitely tend towards authoritarianism.
