"Are you seriously suggesting that a humane system of production is impossible?"
I am reminded of Joseph Campbell:
“Life lives on life. This is the sense of the symbol of the Ouroboros, the serpent biting its tail. Everything that lives lives on the death of something else. Your own body will be food for something else. Anyone who denies this, anyone who holds back, is out of order."
No, there is not going to be pure and blameless system of production and consumption.
- astazangasta 11y ago"Pure and blameless" need not be our standard for "humane". At the least we can accept that a system of production better than the one we have is possible; let's start there. For example, enforcing the existing debt slavery laws and having labeling laws indicating this status would be a great start.
