The quote is not nice and I don't blame anyone for taking issue with it.
However I don't see people feeling any guilt as they move right. Nor do I see a need for greed to corelate with the right leaning politics. The same teachings that lead me to lean right also lead me to donate more than 10% of my income. I think all people that can should donate to charity but I don't think anyone should be forced to. I take issue with the idea that forcing others to give money is generosity.

- dgb23 4y agoI think that’s possibly a fundamental misunderstanding of left ideas. The point is not to force generosity on others. The point is to fight back against unjustified value extraction by the powerful and to democratize the workplace. Socialists see charity as trying to patch over symptoms of an inherently deeper problem. It’s not a philanthropic movement. It’s a worker movement.
