    No, the problem is consumers buying the products.

    If everybody refused to use the standing seats, they’d eventually HAVE to get rid of them, there’d be no point in having a chunk of the plane empty.

    Communists be like, “we must unite to stop capitalists destroying the planet! Now where’s that planet destroying steak I paid for…”

        What? What does union organising have to do with consumer responsibility?

        My point is that communists love sitting around WAITING for someone to take drastic systemic overhauls, whilst being seemingly unable to control their own consumer habits.

        Communists will destroy the planet idly waiting for capitalism to end because “I’m a slave under capitalism, I have to drive everywhere, I have to eat meat”

          I never said anything about unions. I was talking about an organized boycott. That’s the only way to achieve what you are talking about.

          I really don’t understand what you’re talking about with regard to communists. Are you talking about random people you know?

          Maybe you mean folks who say “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism”? I really don’t follow.
