I see Soros' motivation as purely his love of the technical aspect. Being an old hacker, there is nothing I love more than to spin an elegant hack. Soros' career was to manipulate markets to enrich his clients. He started out learning to successfully manipulate security's, then entire markets, then entire economies, now he manipulates entire populations ... that's his elegant hack.

There are a lot of people who believe the ultimate goal of mankind is a global socialist government ala Marx. Me, I think this is stifling, whatever. People have their various beliefs on socialism. There are of course people who aspire to control governments, again not me, but there are people who aspire to this goal. Likewise there are people who aspire to lead global socialist governments and they'll stop at nothing to see their goals fulfilled.

Why??? Just today I started reading Ted Kaczynski's manifesto—yes thats the Unabomber's Manifesto—and it is a surprisingly good read. He starts out explaining human motivations, that once securing food, shelter, & clothing became easy, mankind aspires to more, and requires a surrogate activity in which to strive.
