 Sociologists have long observed that charitable initiatives are heavily supported by conservative social movements. I think the logic goes something like this: charity serves to acknowledge inequality but doesn't challenge its underlying causes, thus serving to perpetuate the existing order. In addition, charity makes a nice political token, regardless of the fact that it does very little to remediate the problem of poverty.
 There is a distinct difference between Charity and Justice.
