/labor/ - Labor

Do you consider certain jobs off-limits, for youself or in general from the perspective of a leftist or for personal reasons, such as military, the defense industry, banks, maybe even the meat industry or the work in capitalist governments?

Do you think that there is a point in entryism into those spaces?

Do you judge people based on the profession they chose, independent of their personal circumstances or do you take that into account even if it's probably? Is there a difference if you are talking to someone who 'should know better' i.e. is a self-styled class- or otherwise politically conscious person?

Should a leftist who can't afford or sustain to be a 'professional revolutionary' seek out professions that seek to 'ameliorate' the worst effects of capitalism, like social work, teaching etc.?

Or is just obsessing over the ethics of one's job just moralist lifestylism, akin to 'ethical consumerism' and basically 'anything goes' since the profanition is considered absolute?


What are your thoughts on these points?
