Since effective altruism is committed to whatever would maximise the social good, it might for example turn out to support anti-capitalist revolution....
Yes, it might. And it might turn out to support lebensraum for the German speaking peoples. However, we are committed to using empirical data to study the actual results of policies. As previous attempts to implement these policies caused tens of millions of deaths, alongside much other damage, it is extremely unlikely they maximise the good! Supporting anti-capitalist revolution should be the sort of crazy hypothetical philosophers discuss when they tire of trolly problems, not a plausible issue that can be seriously compared with things that save lives, like AMF.
