Hello Silke - What I'm getting at is - because 'there is no outside of capitalism' we are all ethically compromised within it. You can live 'differently', but you're still within it. You still have to make choices about your consumption. Even when we try to live differently and try to live good lives we still suffer the consequences of, for example, climate change, or changes to working practices (redundancy, unemployment, worse terms and conditions...) as part of capitalism's need to rationalise and create efficiencies in order to maintain profit. The consequences of capitalism's inevitable cyclical crises. We still have to suffer the assault on our humanity that occurs when we are subjected to state violence - whatever form that takes - the symbolic violence of mass surveillance for example, or the 'war on terror', or the 'war on drugs', or 'austerity', - all necessary to 'protect' state institutions and corporate interests, and capital.
When the top 1-2% realise that they too are in deep trouble, and their wealth and power is threatened by gross inequality and ecological disaster, then maybe we can persuade them to change. I suspect it will happen to far down the road though.
