Philantrocapitalism has always been a problem as the initiatives and organizations that receive grants are not legally entitled to do so but have to meet certain expectations to qualify for funding. In the end philantrophy is an excuse for class divisions that empower only those who conform with the politicial will of the donors.

If people unite in solidarity as it's often the case in the movement against the #genocide in #Gaza they might discover limitations to their caritative work even if it has nothing to do with Palestine. It's a method of preventing the agents of humanitarian work to politicise their engagement, it's a form of social control that represents class antagonism without having to acknowledge it.

So in the end effective political opposition has to be autonomous if it doesn't want to abide to the often unspoken political demands of donors That again shows that the root problem of social injustice and genocidal wars lies in the economical power of the ruling class enforced with the iron pressure of material needs - who pays the piper is entitled to decide to what melody people have to dance or suffer physically for not bowing to the powers that be.
