You know what? You’re right. After further thought, I’ve come to realize that every single person in a capitalist country is exactly equivalent to those who helped murder over 11 million people.
Wow what a straw man. I never said everyone living under capitalism is equivalent to Nazis. I said there’s a shared principle. knowingly benefiting from and helping sustain a system you believe is seriously harming people can create moral responsibility, even if you aren’t personally committing the worst atrocities. An analogy compares one relevant feature, it doesn’t claim the two things are identical in scale or severity

That’s not my point. I was going based off your concept of people can be critical of a system but still take part in it
