Socialist Progressives

really go that far into it because it really requires looking at capitalism with a very discerning eye. The thing with any of the charities, NPOs, 501c3's ... however you'd like to refer to them is that at the end of the day they serve an important purpose for the ruling class. This is how we deal with the casualties of capitalism - we encourage the "losers" in capitalism to seek help through these organizations, we pat ourselves on the back for our "helping" nature, and finally we get a tax write-off while doing so.

It's not that they are bad or that the people running them don't care about others. That is going to vary like anything else and really isn't the point. The bottom line is that they are just another system (much like the tiny houses we discussed yesterday) put in place to prop up capitalism, an inherently unequal and quite barbaric system.
