"The money is coming from some very stupid rich people [who] have no idea that if their thing ever succeeded, which it won't, they will be thrown to the wolves like you've never seen before."That looks like a dichotomy, incredibly wealthy people funding Marxist revolutions. But once you dig into it, it is not a contradiction at all.
The most prominent public figure people think of when it comes to wealthy people funding international Leftist revolutionary causes is billionaire hedge fund manager and philanthropist, George Soros. Over the course of his life Soros is rumored to have given away as much as $30 billion of his money, something that might look strange for a miser. He is said to be currently "only" worth $8 billion. Since he gives away such a large amount of the money he's made over his life it's clear Soros is far from a miser.
For Soros it's about playing the game to make the money, not the money itself. Once you understand **that** you have an easier time seeing what he's doing.

Putin did it when he first took power and told the oligarchs they could keep their companies as long as they looked after their employees their customers and it was good for Russia.
