Why do we call it ‘mutual aid’ when really it’s just repackaged charity 99% of the time. It’s either a loan or charity, or even a business transaction

I understand the concept of prefigurative politics but one-sided transactions do not meet the definition of mutual aid/assistance by any context to my knowledge. It’s like we copypasted a term with a well-defined meaning in order to make the status quo sound ‘hip’ and ‘cool’ and ‘radical’ while completely eschewing its actual meaning

Not to say that charity is bad (yes I understand it has bad connotations) but I’m not going to point at a goose and call it a seagull.
