By the way - any community with a social conscience usually been the less well off looking after the lesser well off while the profiteers continue to take the lion's share
A typical example is the contradictions of charity with well meaning people donating to wards victims of war while our arms dealers become wealthier by selling weapons to perpetuate those wars
A society with a conscience would would be a different matter, but like Ghandi's description of Western civilisation, only "a good idea".
