I think this really says all that needs to be said about communism, and what we are seeing right now in the western world with "capitalism". This is why Bankers funded the communists, because it was about wealth control, not about true freedom for the masses. How do you think Communism survived for so long in the world? Private banks made money off of it, especially during the cold war with the massive spending on the military in both countries.
If one understand that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seking megalomaniacs.
Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of th economic elite
