Profit over people is violence. If a single person is harmed by your lie, that is violence against humanity.
But they have to be rich, right? I’m interested in the criteria.
What about a nation that supports a company who produces goods that allow the company to make profit, and the production of the goods harms people’s lives (e.g. pollution or poor working conditions in the production country). Somebody should police that nation. Maybe bomb the nation?
In that case the people in charge of both the nation and the corporation need to be removed. The nation can redeem itself once the greed poisoned leaders are dealt with.
But if the citizens didn’t fund the company’s greed, they wouldn’t exist. Plenty of examples of things people don’t need that they continue to buy, and support unethical business operations leading to harm.
That’s some capitalism = commerce bullshit. Capitalism only perverts commerce to its own end of allowing a single person to “own” everything. Commerce existed for over 10,000 years before capitalism existed, and the father of capitalism, Adam Smith, even said that once capitalism has achieved its goals, which we did in the late 1800s according to Adam Smith, that it would be absolutely imperative to transition to a more “socially equitable” [sic] and “sustainable” form of commerce under a direct democratic framework.
Try using some actual facts rather than feelings in your next reply, also actually read The Theory of Moral Sentiments, and Wealth of Nations. If you are actually literate, you should be able to plow through both texts in two two to three hour readings.
This comment is so pretentious and yet so dumb. Nice job. Capitalism only works if people are spending money. Fact. There’s no getting around that. If people elect to spend money on goods they don’t need from companies they know are harming people then they are responsible. Should they not be “Luigied?”
No facts, just bluster. You need to read the source material.
Capitalism has served its purpose. Adam Smith would be screaming for revolution. Commerce exists without capitalism. It’s long since past time for capitalism to be relegated to the dustbin of history.
Also dumb means mute, not ignorant.
Apparently reading doesn’t make you smart or enable you to engage in meaningful discourse.

No meaningful discourse to be had with brainwashed capitalist scum.
