Is it weird to resent when non-communists do good things?

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
If you haven't already found it, this GitHub page is an excellent collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics, made by @dessalines and others.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a private Matrix room. See this thread for more information.
Rules:
Honestly, kind of a bit of an awful attitude to have. As others have said, it is understandable, but an attitude we should fight in ourselves.
Hoping for people's lives to worsen under capitalism is monstrous, accelerationism is not a path we should go down. We care about people, we want to help people, we shouldn't look at people like statistics, but as living breathing people.
Those people who sacrifice their time and money to help others are already halfway towards becoming socialists, these are the people we should work with, support and educate.
That last part is the key here. These people understand something is wrong with the system, even if they personally benefit from it. They are some of the people who are most likely to be interested in socialist ideas (even if you have to avoid scary words like "Socialism" or "Communism" at first).
Charity work is a band-aid solution, not a proper permanent fix, it doesn't tackle the root causes of these issues at all, so it doesn't actually do anything to prevent these problems from occurring in the first place. What it does do, is make people's lives under capitalism a little less horrible, makes them more likely to survive, and when the revolution comes, those people will support it. Hell, they might even be inspired to start it. You help a homeless guy one day, and he could end up being your country's Lenin in the future.
