You seem to be under the impression that humans would do the right thing. This claim is repeated without justification. In fact, the claim is ridiculous on its face because corporations are certainly human, given that they are run, operated, and staffed by human beings. Claiming them to be 'not human' is simply copping out facing the depraved reality of human existence.
- jiveturkey 8y agoexcept we already know that in groups, people act differently than they would individually. the GP statement is, by that argument, strictly correct. 'composed of' humans is not the same as 'being' human. He did go on to say, this exposes the weakness in society, which is a collection of humans.
- lm28469 8y agoI think you're debating semantic here. Everything can be reduced to "it's just human nature". That's not a satisfactory answer to a socio-economic system critic. In its current state capitalism is far from what it was just 50 years ago, I don't see anything crazy about pointing out its current flaws and working on them. It'll be changed anyway, the only choice we have is to be an active part in the process or be moved by it.
