There's no one-to-one comparison, but a decent one would be a drug cartel making and selling fentanyl. Sure, the orders come from civilization at large, I guess

There's no one-to-one comparison, but a decent one would be a drug cartel making and selling fentanyl. Sure, the orders come from civilization at large, I guess, as if no one were to buy the stuff then they wouldn't produce it. IG Farben also has similarities. I don't think anyone is arguing that economy-wide changes aren't needed, nor did anyone ever propose that if only we took down IG Farben, WW2 would've ended. Correct relative blame assignment is still very important, as the Farben CEO to Nuremberg and the screw factory worker should be rehabilitated regardless of having played a minor (yet still essential) role.
