I didn’t find the argument compelling. It was essentially “Donating to charity removes the urgency around removing the real problem: capitalism.” But whether or not capitalism is the problem is not decided. If it was decided, whether or not we could change it is not decided. If we could change it, whether or not the things we could change it to is better than capitalism is not decided.

I can donate to charity now and accomplish some good, rather than wait for some nebulous and uncertain future that may or may not be an improvement. The moral thing to do seems clear.
