Question
Is the commandment of charity anti-capitalist?
Answer
On the contrary. Socialism believes in justice, not charity. Charity is a distinctly capitalist concept.
Discussion on Answer

When you’re not obligated to give. When you’re obligated to give charity, that’s not exactly capitalism (but it’s not socialism either).
