If you have any to spare, give your money directly to the victims of capitalism: homeless people.
Most charities under capitalism are an excuse to overpay MBA board members with your donation dollars and then brag about being on that board in capitalist circles. Most corporate drives are a way for those corporations to lower their own tax bill on your dime. Most things that need charity under capitalism are glaring reminders of what parts of society capitalist greed leaves out in the cold to starve.
If the homeless spend it on liquor, good for them, a slight reprieve and numbing of the pain our society inflicts on them 24/7 for the crime of being sub-optimal capital batteries.
And if you won’t do that because you won’t get a receipt from the homeless human beings to write your donation off on your own taxes, starving the commons of revenue, then fuck you, that isn’t charity. Charity is giving with no expectation of return, save a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
There’s a name for giving money and expecting something tangible back in return like a tax break: a transaction.
