no, simple “as needed” distribution, without any kind of telos or plan anything the contemporary left might endorse *only makes social problems worse* because they have institutions to perpetuate the test is: can the left stomach it? If yes, it will perpetuate poverty
Ah, I see. You're talking about the way "charitable" orgs tend to become bloated and useless sinecure programs for administrators. That's true too, but I think the grassroots orgs run by the far left are probably different than the orgs run by state liberals.

no, grassroots orgs are *also* institutions, and have no actual criteria for success that would obsolete them- “poverty” is perpetual, and the perpetuation is poverty is necessary for the activist identity, who people those orgs they *perpetuate* poverty

That seems like magical thinking, the confusion of cause and effect. I don't think it's always untrue but if you can't identify a credible mechanism it's not a good enough explanation to universalize
