Problems with Non-Profits

#4 in Points of Unity -

We are against Non-Profit Organizations. They support the system we want to destroy and pay less than lip-service to the communities they claim to aid. Non-profits have created a style of political organizing that will never really threaten capitalism, patriarchy, or white supremacy.

Huge corporations and billionaires fund non-profit corporations from the profit - the excess return - that they make off their workers. If the excess were distributed more equitably, then the WORKERS could GIVE and support their own communities in the way THEY believe they need to be supported. If the excess were distributed more equitably everyone in a household would not have to work for wages. One or more persons could engage in public service. Right now - with everyone working just to keep a household's head above water - public service becomes something only wealthy people can do.

Giving and public service should not be a privilege - it should be something that everyone can afford to do. 

As it is now, poor people think rich people have their best interests at heart because they give so much money - not realizing that it was THEY (the poor) who earned that money and the rich people who got to keep it - dribbling a little back to the poor in the form of charity. Rich people seem generous and trustworthy, the poor - not so much.
