SOCIAL JUSTICE
CHARITY VS. SOCIAL JUSTICE
Systemic injustice is what we are struggling against. Policies of Trade & Finance are biased in favor of those who have wealth and influence. This works against the poor, the have-nots, the no-bodies, who be it noted, are the great majority in the world's population.
The charity would base itself on justice. But charity is often seen as mere alms, and as such is incomplete.
It is therefore necessary to try to improve unjust systems, in addition to donating some of our wealth.
When a destructive system is creating victims in the millions, can we limit ourselves to rescuing them in ones and twos? We must locally do what we can to help work for systemic change, or justice. This is the foundation of charity.
