Revisiting the Difference Between Mutual Aid and #Charity
2025
"Much has been made of the distinction between charity and mutual aid. Charity is top-down and unidirectional, while mutual aid is supposed to be horizontal, reciprocal, and participatory. In practice, however, the majority of today’s self-described mutual aid projects remain more or less unidirectional efforts to provide goods and services to those in need.
"This has contributed to a situation in which conventional non-profit organizations are rebranding themselves with the language of 'mutual aid,' while some anarchists have given up on the concept entirely, fed up with a rhetoric that some say amounts to 'mutual aid being good and radical, and charity being bad and conservative.'
"Is there more to the distinction than this? How could we unlock the revolutionary potential of mutual aid?"

Who is the rich #NewYorker the #MonopolyMan is based on?
At first glance, the board game Monopoly doesn’t seem like it has a New York City connection. The man who sold it to Parker Brothers in 1935 was from Philadelphia, and the board features properties in Atlantic City.
"Then there’s that mustached man long dubbed 'the Monopoly Man' or 'Mr. Monopoly.' He appears on the Chance and Community Chest cards, always in a Depression-era suit with a bowtie and top hat.
"But the Monopoly Man isn’t just a board game invention—this iconic character (who has an actual name, Rich #UnclePennybags) is supposedly based on the image of an actual New Yorker.
"So who is he? Apparently he’s modeled after banker #JPMorgan. Morgan’s company financed some of the #GildedAge’s biggest corporations. He consolidated railroads, helped rescue the gold standard, and helped stabilize financial markets during the Panic of 1907, according to History.com. His former mansion on Madison Avenue is now the Morgan Library.
"Phil Orbanes, a former VP at Parker Brothers and author of The Monopoly Companion, confirmed in this interview that the artist who drew Mr. Monopoly based him on J.P. Morgan."
