The idea that privately-managed charity could adequately address even one of the numerous structural-level problems in our society is tremendously naive.

Well if mentalpiracy says achieving a huge goal privately is naive, it must be so.

But I think that discounts the massive achievements and structural changes around us that private enterprise has contributed to. It seems naive to believe humans can't solve large problems, or at least improve their lot, without men with guns forcing them to pay up for it.
