Nobody is talking about billionaires “giving up their stuff” or making a “sacrifice”. This is about wresting ownership of the means of production away from the capitalists. I don’t know exactly what you mean by “complicity” in this particular discussion, you’ll have to clarify.
Unclear. Are you referring to human rights abuses in cobalt mining? Are you talking specifically or abstractly? About a specific industry or generally? Individually or at the national level?
My point is that the majority of stuff that is harming or will harm the most needy in the world is because of our individual choices.
Cobalt mining, climate change, sweatshops etc are because of our complacency and are only solved if we as a people have more empathy and consider the consequences of our lifestyles.
But that’s a harder banner to rally around than “boooo billionaires.”
