Maybe time for some people to read some Franz Fanon about some other options besides charity. I’ve completely oversimplified this, of course.

Franz Fanon is an interesting one in this context. When he wrote the Wretched of the Earth, it was in the context of colonialism. It was effective because it's solution was simple, to end colonialism kill the colonizers.

I'm not sure how well that applies in the current context because something like "Eat the Rich" has to be far more nuanced than the Bolshevik movement to really help people.
