I am going to recommend a book to you. Doing Good Better by William MacAskil. It is not a work of right wing “intellectuals”. It is a book I think may cause you to rethink things. In exchange, I will read any book you recommended, Marxist or otherwise.

I’m aware of the rehabilitations of the Effective Altruism movement and find their arguments unconvincing. Not to mention entirely the product of right-wing TINA thinking.

Am I right in assuming you consider communist revolution the only solution? Just so you know it is unlikely you will be the Stalin of that eventuality, just one more of his slaves.

No, not at all. I believe in democracy and its potential for transformation above all, just as a fundamental right in the workplace/economy, in addition to government.
