Spending money on charities effectively does not necessitate maximizing income at any cost. But in the first place, generating high income does not necessitate imposing harm. A marxist would construe that it would by virtue that they believe all enterprise is exploitation, not by measuring harm.

What I infer (but is left unsaid) of the denigration of EA on the part of far-left ideologues is that they think charity is a joke. They will not promote it, on the conceit that it would undermine the Socialist mission. The outcomes for beneficiaries are irrelevant.
