This is good work.

Ethical consumption in a capitalist economy is unachievable...but we can optimise

There is nothing inherently ethical about co-op owned organizations nor anything inherently unethical about privately owned organizations.

The party vanguard of the worker co-op is exactly as capable of selfish or abusive behaviour as the private owner.

		> There is nothing inherently ethical about co-op owned organizations nor anything inherently unethical about privately owned organizations. I disagree. Co-ops are inherently democratic. Privately owned business is inherently anti-democratic. The difference only becomes starker as the scale increases. That alone makes it seem more ethical to me, before you even get to examining the way democratic organizations obviously do a better job at checking any single person's power than rule by one, as well as other effects.

Consumption itself is unethical.
