Iowa State University offers ‘Anti-Capitalist Personal Finance’ by ‘non-binary Filipinix’ activist
Iowa State University is offering an upcoming “Anti-Capitalist Personal Finance” lecture.
The event, which is co-sponsored by the school’s Women’s and Gender Studies Program and the Committee on Lectures (which is funded by the Student Government, according to the lecture page), will take place on April 21.
The discussion will be hosted by Leo Aquino, a “non-binary Filipinx writer, journalist, and financial coach” who works on “financial literacy and empowerment for queer and trans communities.”
Aquino is the founder of “Queer & Trans Wealth, an initiative dedicated to increasing economic empowerment and collective liberation.”
Aquino’s financial strategies are “rooted in their commitment to uplifting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ stories.”
One initiative offered by “Queer and Trans Wealth” is “free financial coaching for people who are directly affected” by President-Elect Donald Trump’s election victory, such as “Queer & trans people who live in states where anti-trans legislation has been passed or introduced” and “Trans people who are saving for gender-affirming surgery.”
Other services include “1:1 coaching services through an anti-capitalist lens” that can cost up to $375, as well as paying Aquino to speak about “How to create a budget & crowdfunding campaign for gender-affirming surgeries” and “Underearning in the LGBTQ community,” among other topics.

So how to successfully mooch off everyone else for the rest of your life. Great.
Well then, they just gotta pay Bernie for a guest lecture.
This is one of those groups where a fund immediately springs up to take the other side of every trade made by the members (e.g., the “Inverse Cramer ETF”).
‘Capitalism’ as used here, is an epithet meant to disparage free markets. That’s what they really hate. Their desire for Socialism is really a desire for tyranny and power over everything and everyone. With themselves in charge, natch. Only they are fit to make such weighty decisions,
