What are some good places to give money to? I want to help people in 3rd world countries, but it seems like the mainstream charities are mostly enforcing pro-capitalist states and suppressing any revolutionary groups, while maybe small percent of charity actually going to people's wellbeing. What do?

Charity is the way capitalists fill the hole that their retarded system creates; dont collaborate.
Keep your cash in unless you personally know some rev groups in 3rd world countries to whom you could donate to.

the holes*

That's idpol comrade. Can't do that.

I'm sure your local communist party could use some donations.

Charity is the bourgeois form of the Indulgence. Unless you're giving your money directly to the people that need it it's a waste of time, and even then.

Surely there is some better way to use my money than keep it in the bank where they use it to invest in capitalism without even needing my permission?


I live in a 3rd world country myself, but backing socialist groups is illegal here, so I thought that sending my money overseas is probably a way to help without putting myself in a risk.

That's it, I'm just going to spend it all on coca cola and american hamburgers then, since everything else is fucking bourgeoisie lifestylism. FUCK YOU ALL

Doctors Without Borders is one of the best big NGOs you can donate to. But before you donate to anyone I suggest you check out how much of the money actually helps someone besides the admin of the NGO. If you know a local charity you can help with, that's another good option.

..And what exactly will be gained?
Let's sat I donate to an organization that makes sure some street kid gets a roof over his head and some basic education, whats wrong with that?
Who has the greatest revolutionary potential, a kid who knows how to read, or a kid left in the gutter with nothing but his boi pussy and a jar of glue?

Your theory is in conflict with the material conclusions of charity. By doing what OP wants to do, the system doesn't change, and a few poor people won't starve. By following your praxis, the system doesn't change, and a few poor people will starve, or at least experience extreme hunger.
Basicslly you guys are trying to rationalize the fact that you are not willing to do anything, unless that "anything" can have a radical impact on geopolitics. The fact that charity is needed to actually help real, living people never enters your field of vision.

You are looking for this guy

I don't have that much to give so it's only ever a few quid but when I do I usually just give it to some homeless that I walk past. With larger sums I have no idea though.

I think what is trying to say is that capitalism relies on charity to prop itself up and shield itself from the problems it creates without having to confront or take responsibility for them. It's not really a position I that would ever stop me giving to charity but he has a point.

...

Yes

Charity is right wing retarded logic

Charity is an indulgence. Don't look at it in terms of a static picture where you can move something and make a meaningful change. See it as a dynamic flowing system. The flow of resources is like the water cycle. Poor communities are like deserts. Deserts exist because they lack the ecology to retain moisture (trees and shit) and/or the terrain blocks moisture from arriving (mountains and shit). Poor communities are poor because there's nothing to keep wealth in them (local production/"business" and shit) and/or there's someone blocking wealth from entering in the first place (Walmart and shit siphoning most money spent to a centralized headquarters somewhere else).

You gotta build up the infrastructure and shit and/or demolish the barriers in place.

This is a narrative that bears no material implication: the consequence is that instead of saving lives with some of the money you're saving (assuming that this is the case, I'm not going to shame poor anons into pure altruism), you're instead spending them elsewhere, which is really not a very anti-capitalist praxis. There's literally nothing wrong in supporting efficient charities, saving or improving the life of innocent people who had it far harder than you did.

Mate I bought the charity meme a while back and got involved in a bunch of them
ALL of them are scams trust me on this
Out of every dollar donated only 1ยข reaches the dis-advantaged

And I agree with you on that, which is why I do give to charity. But capitalists rely on chumps like us to avoid the conditions capitalism creates that make charity necessary.

You could use the money to kickstart a cooperative.

You could use the money to organize a local "Food not Bombs" initiative.

You could use the money to create a local iteration of Open Source Ecology kind of project, a hackerspace if you will, and specifically on creating a dual power when it comes to food production, doing research on artificial soil to grow food in, or turning barren soil into fertile soil and then using it to grow food.

It is easy to throw money at something and be fucking proud of yourself how much you are helping, that is the definiton of indulgence.

But money is merely numbers on papers. What counts are real social relations, and relations of labour and production, and what counts more is when this labour is not alienated.

Unless you are in Scandinavia, Cuba or North Korea, there are people in your country that would not say no to a little help. Chances are that they are within the range of public transport.
