Success Quote by George Soros

Soros is doing two things at once here: defusing the “puppet master” myth and quietly reaffirming the logic of his power. The sentence is built like a legal defense and a moral pitch in the same breath. He insists the work belongs to “people in the country” who “care about an open society” - a phrase that sounds benign until you remember how loaded it is in nationalist politics. “Open society” signals a whole worldview: pluralism over ethnic majoritarianism, independent institutions over strongman rule, porous borders for ideas (and often people), and skepticism toward state-enforced unanimity. In places sliding toward illiberalism, that’s not a neutral preference; it’s a provocation.

The rhetorical move is delegation as absolution: “It’s not me doing it.” He’s separating agency from funding, trying to shrink the space where critics can claim foreign interference. Yet the next line restores the leverage: “I can empower them.” Philanthropy is cast as amplification, not authorship, but everyone understands amplification changes outcomes. The repetition - support, support, help - works like a drumbeat meant to normalize what opponents frame as sinister: money moving across borders to reshape civil society.

Context matters because Soros has been turned into a symbol, sometimes by legitimate ideological disagreement, often by conspiratorial, antisemitic shorthand. This quote reads like preemptive clarification under pressure: he’s not “running” countries, he’s underwriting infrastructure - NGOs, legal aid, journalism, education - the unglamorous scaffolding that makes liberal democracy harder to bulldoze. The subtext is blunt: politics is organized power, and he’s choosing a side, just not the one with uniforms.
