I was mainly responding to the idea that "a vow of poverty" is something only Catholics do and and has no place in socialism. Which is just factually untrue. Even the previous president of Uruguay let refugees live in the official government accommodation and drove a VW Beetle. Socialist movements should definitely focus on curbing party and/or government excesses, and avoid champagne socialist behaviour. Especially in the third world/Global South. It is a very poor look for a "socialist party" to show up to parliament with fancy watches and Gucci bags, while they dress to look like workers. There has to be some kind of middle ground somewhere.

I don't know what the trueanon podcast does with their money, I don't really care, but there is a point to practicing what you preach.
