It's true, I find Marxism morally repugnant. That said, if you hold Marx's labor theory of value so dear that you feel equity holders should not be allowed to donate their equity to a charity without worker consent, that's your right. And to be clear, I'm not passing judgment on you as a person. I don't know that you're generally morally repugnant; we might agree on nearly everything. But we disagree viciously on this point. I don't care if an individual got the equity as a founder, an investor, an employee, an advisor, or a partner. Once they've earned the equity, they're free to do what they'd like with it, even if it's not what I'd prefer. I can't accept your arguments to the contrary. And frankly, I think it'd be a very unprofessional employee who'd be so bothered by an individual's personal asset allocation choices that they'd refer to it as having a charity inflicted upon them, simply because you provided a portion of the labor that increased the value of the securities.
