It's not a conspiracy. Street crime is much easier to prosecute and has far fewer eyes looking onwards. Much easier to abuse the metrics in that area to look good at your job, whereas tackling corporate fraud is expensive, time consuming and likely to attract all manners of unwanted attention, even physical violence and intimidation -- thus making people look worse on paper.
- wombatmobile 6y agoWhat is your definition of "conspiracy"?
- jrimbault 6y agoSystemic issues/consequences don't need conspiracy to manifest, they're a manifestation of misplaced incentives/causes. I don't think OP implied any conspiracy on any part. I'm sorry to get the big name out, but. It's really part of the Marxist framework that there's mostly no willful conspiracy against the worker class, the balance of power is a result of a complex but understandable system, with some corrupt actors but they don't need to be, they just have conflicting incentives.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe last thing is why Marxist analysis is so revolutionary. It was the first real systemic critique that didn't rely on principles of individual morality, and in essence it's also why it's probably always going to be relevant.
