I've seen Sam's tweet that strongly suggests that he's in fact in or very close to camp 4), which you call Brockist.
People often underestimate Sam as yet another capitalist. I believe his thinking is on quite another level and he does care for humanity. He doesn't seem to care about making much more money personally. He said on another occasion that he made money faster than he can spend it anyway.
