I was reading how Rabble will now set up an offshore office in India for his company. He wonders whether he's not shooting himself in the foot by contributing to thrive the global competition.
I posted a comment related to a question I currently have myself, that is: can you fight capitalism from the inside? It was maybe a bit of a naive question. We all live inside. We have jobs (some of us), make money, spend... We maintain the system.
However, it leads to the assumption that you can push for a change only "after hours", in your free time, or in the choices you make to spend your money. There is no other alternative than giving your energy to the capitalist machine.
I beg to differ here. I think you can find a way of living without giving too much of yourself to something you don't believe in.
Obviously, working for an private corporation involved in international competition makes it difficult. Although that's what I'm doing at the moment, I chose to change my career path and not to work for private companies anymore. This is not a turn you can take in a snap, but it's underway, as my project is taking shape.
Working for communities, as a government agent, or for international institutions, can also be very rewarding and fulfilling, while not supporting the profit machine system.
