Jump To Comment: 1 2I didn't know that they had tax on charities, that is absolutely appaling. I'm off to sign a petition!
Do charities actually work? what is the point of working for charities when they do not attack the causes for poverty etc.?
Some may say that at least they alleviate the suffering of those in need, this is correct. But you must look at the long term, by sowing illusions in charities you misplace peoples consciousness. THe problems of society are caused by capitalism and can only be prevented by ordinary people moving into struggle and bringing about socialism, it is not easy but this is the only way to end poverty.
