My latest @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social unpacks how elite-funded projects like the School for Moral Ambition—backed by billionaire donors—repackage power as virtue.
I’ll share it again in one week once it’s open access.

What collective responsibility do people have for categories of oppression that do not directly affect them? And how do they assume that responsibility if deference politics insists that only those people most directly affected can research or speak to the oppression? #olufemitaiwo #elitecapture

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t generosity. It’s a tax-subsidized system of influence that lets the ultra-wealthy privatize public priorities while avoiding accountability

In my new investigation, I reveal the taxpayer costs of billionaire philanthropy: a half-trillion dollars.
In an era where there is growing concern about oligarchy, it's time we confront billionaire philanthropists.

The taxpayer cost of Big Philanthropy
If billionaire philanthropists follow through on their "Giving Pledges," they could reap more than $500 billion in tax breaks. Isn't it time to end taxpayer subsidies for oligarch philanthropists?

Elite capture is when wealthy and powerful people co-opt movements meant to help the masses, steering them to serve their own interests instead. It’s why real change so often gets watered down or blocked. #elitecapture #dems

Democratic “elites” would rather genuflect before Trump’s lies than defend their own voters’ truths. They fear being called “socialist” more than they fear surrendering democracy itself. Their reflexive cowardice turns right-wing propaganda into party gospel. #DemocracyDefiled #EliteCapture

Elite/bourgeois academics preach “leftism” while stripping it of class struggle, turning it into careerism. Ethical values, inclusivity, “all voices heard” are all performance. True leftism is working class and anti-capitalist. #EliteCapture #FakeLeft #Marxism #ML #AcademicTwitter
