The initial sentences play on the word “authority”. Barracuda implies that authority is a name for those with resources used in EA causes, that EA folks have resources, and that their elevated authority is something they prefer to keep while they will share their wealth only. Barracuda states that EA efforts are not intended to further causes associated with social justice or democracy, but rather socioeconomic equality or health only.
Basically, I take the criticism to be that EA depends on, or does not address or correct, political inequality.
