Red Nose Day

Here we go again. Another Red Nose Day is with us.
2007 and there are tens of thousands of charities in this country alone. What does this say about this so-called civilisation we are told we live in?
With the productive capacity of Capitalism, the above should be unnecessary. However, we live in a world where the means of life are owned by a tiny minority, and access to life is on the basis of, "can't pay, then can't have".
It is a "Red Face Day", for all of those who tell us how great Capitalism is. And a vindication for people like myself, who argue for a change of society and the relationships involved. Who argue for a society, where the means of producing the things we need to live are owned by us all, collectively.
Be ashamed, be very ashamed.

You're not wrong. Children in Need has been running for 80 years on TV and Radio. You'd think by now they're be no need for it.

That said, it's all well and good saying they'd be no need for it under Socialism but surely giving to charity now is worthwhile? Something is better than nothing.
