Why does somebody always take this to the extreme. Whenever there's a thread where people want to see corporations be made accountable for their actions it's shunned as socialism, nationalization, communism, etc. To me this just sounds like the news has successfully brainwashed folks into associating corporate accountability/responsibility with alt govs so that it's easier to get people on their side or something, idk.
- TheOtherHobbes 7y agoThe whole point of corporate ethics is to benefit from collective effort while pretending it's about individual talent and heroism - the kind of talent and heroism that is so unusual, so special, so dynamic, so productive, and so, well, rich it absolutely deserves a free pass from the ethical constraints that apply to lesser individuals. It's pure special pleading, but Wall St couldn't operate without it.
