In taking action against Capitalism, how much should ethical or moral views, feelings etc be taken into account? Should Corporations be the sole target or is it justifiable to also target elite members of the bourgeoisie, or more particularly their expensive possessions? Are bloody volvo drivers and yacht owners our enemy because they support the enemy ?
Hypothetically speaking of course. :D

Fire away.

Do you mean to ask who should be targeted, or what our ethical beliefs are? Not to offend you, but I don't quite understand what you are asking.

Also, are you talking about action taken now, or action in the future where larger-scale tasks can be taken?

To partially answer your question, I think that private individuals who are blatantly and unapolegetically capitalist are fair game. I mean, going after a bloke who has simply worked hard and managed to beat the system doesn't deserve to be attacked because of it, but the CEO who schemed and exploited his way to riches is most deserving.

Assuming you meant who we should target, I think that we should try to reach the uninformed; those who don't know what is going on in the world.

Sorry about that.

Both; what I'm interested in is how you rationalise who is the enemy.


Also, are you talking about action taken now, or action in the future where larger-scale tasks can be taken?

I'm talking about the here and now.

I am somewhat conflicted about attacking citizens and their shiny toys unless I can be absolutely certain that they are exploiters of the labor wage system rather than the exploited.

That&#39;s the Earth Liberation&#39;s Front&#39;s job.

Communists destroy the base and structures of Capitalism.
