Soros has been giving his money away for the past 25 years and he is a holocaust survivor so I think his perspective is probably tempered with generosity and bitter experience.

I have never understood Left and Right Wing much less extreme Left or Right. I will listen to Rush Limbaugh until he stops making sense and I will listen to Jesse Jackson until he stops making sense. I never sort people according to measures like Left and Right. I remember a time when I had just got out of Viet Nam and was stationed in El Paso (Fort Bliss. I bought a used VW Bug from a wealthy woman whose husband was a contractor. She started talking politics and I remember asking he to define Left and Right. She started gesturing with her hands, explaining these people believe "such and such" and these people over here believe "this and that". The problem was, when she talked about the Left she used her right hand and when she talked about the Right, she used her left hand. I bought the car, waved good bye and decided right then and there, she didn't know what she was talking about and that it was a pointless way to categorize what people think.
