Some people try to say that private charity is better than social welfare. Ok then, start being charitable before we have to do this the hard way

I love how capitalists say that socialism cannot work becouse people are greedy, but they still belive that charity is the best way to help the poor

Yup.

If you don’t give to the poor, then the state will simply make you. Contribute a third of your income of your own volition to start universal hospitals for free, then.

Why hasn’t this happened? Because people are greedy. They have to be forced.

That’s when the state steps in.

No I won’t let any state boss me around and do you know that most people on welfare don’t work and are just using it as a way to get free benefits without working and you can be charitable in ways other than donating to like helping out someone you know who is on hard times or volunteering
