And yet that does not absolve us from all personal responsibly.
If someone has two otherwise equal job opportunities, one at a local nonprofit that provides eldercare assistance, and the other at a fortune 500 (two extreme examples to serve the point), I think they should choose the former.
I understand that not everyone has or is able to get these opportunities. But this is effectively the “all consumption under capitalism is unethical” argument, which some people use as an excuse to unnecessarily choose unethically.
yeah, I mean I can’t say I consider an oil exec picking new places to exploit to be on the same level as the local car salesperson. Still, the question was ultimately about socialists’ positions on middle class insurance salesmen as a category.
