Video interview

Rather more insightful than Bono and Geldof shallow take on charity. But still he views capitalism as simply distorted…so all it needs is some straightening out …However he understands the quandary "i don't call for end of capitalism but for humanism ….which does means the end of capitalism" to paraphrase him. He is also critical of reformism near the end of the interview as never addressing root causes.
On a personal level…what do you do when you are a son of the third richest man in the world and are given $1 Billion to use for philanthropy??!! Donate it all to the Party?
Should we compose a begging letter?This article published by SOYMB proves that Philanthropy, donation and charity, is another way for the capitalist to produce profits.http://socialismoryourmoneyback.blogspot.com/2013/09/charity-begins-at-home.htmlThe so called saint Teresa of Calcutta took donations from several thieves and dictators including Enver Hoxha, and Duvalier, and part of that money was used by a multinational corporation named as the Vatican.With several millions of dollars we can open a Radio or TV station, to propagate socialism through the whole world
