That's Marxist? Kant was a Marxist?
Immanuel Kant came up with that idea long before Karl was even a little Red
Pioneer.

How to people react to the Marxist doctrine of NOT giving to charity?
The idea is that by giving to charity, you are only trying to make
yourself feel better. Plus you are damaging society by covering up
the failures of society in dealing with its outcasts and miserables.
Sounds incredibly cold hearted doesn't it?
On the other hand, the more people give to relief agencies, the less
the government has to live up to its end of the social contract, the
more money in the coffers to give back to the superrich.
If I were in NO, I'd want all charities and relief agencies and
governmental help to come running. But that's just me. I don't
matter much to the world; if I starved to death, it would not make a
difference.
Yours in ping pong,
Eric
