(57,751 posts)something leftists think about. Nothing is going to be banned in the US that results in labor exploitation or death of workers. We have a society where a few consider their desire for stuff--whether than stuff is phones, TV sets, or videos of violence against other human beings--to be far more important than the lives of the workers involved in the production of those materials.
Socially conscious people try to limit the extent to which they subsidize such economic exploitation, and they certainly don't argue that that labor exploitation doesn't matter or its a function of "choice," as the right does. We don't have a society populated by socially conscious leftists, however. US society is primarily reactionary, population with too many self-absorbed people who think only about what they want and don't think about the impact of their consumption on other human beings.
