When a billionaire leaves their money to charity that just means they want to dictate 1,000s of people's labor even after they die. There is nothing good about this. The only possible good thing to do would be to give the money to democracy – to let the public decide what to do.
Why should Bill Gates, after he dies, decide what a hundred thousand people do for 40 hours a week? Why should he decide what is good for society? Why can't we decide for ourselves? Private charity is still a dictatorship over work. Obeying a capitalist after he dies is absurd.
Because a benevolent dictator is arguably better than democracy. Not saying that Bill Gates is necessarily a benevolent dictator, but some people may argue that he is.
Because he is responsible for the creation of goods and services that millions of people believed would improve lives enough that said people were willing to exchange their own resources in order to obtain said good and services.
How was he more responsible than a salaried employee who worked at Microsoft for 15 years? Because he put up some money earlier? The loan he got from mom and dad are worth more than the work of thousands of his employees?
Does he decide? Or does he pass on his decision-making power?
Not sure I can agree with you on this. There comes a point where u are just being self-destructive and putting principle over reality. (He could just spend it on champaign and caviar).
The state collects its money from you ultimately at the end of a gun. The fact that anyone would call voluntary charities a "dictatorship over work" while presenting compulsory charity at the hands of the government as a more libertine alternative is absurd.
Suppose the public votes for money to go to a cause you find immoral, conversion therapy for instance, what then? You can't just not pay your taxes, not for long anyway. Would you continue to champion Democracy as you claim to here, or would you abandon it as an inconvenience?
