No, that's why I talked about the owning class. Their socio-economic class has a different relationship to businesses than the worker class. Furthermore, the vast majority of the 440,000 employees are not in an executive role (and able to decide what work the corporation does) nor do most have the financial freedom to choose a more ethical job (there are only so many jobs available that pay enough to support a family, most of which are just in other for-profit companies beholden to the same rules of competition under capitalism).

And, as I said before, I don't advocate for assassination as a tactic, for strategic reasons:

The only reason to avoid advocating these acts is that this style of PotD-like adventurism generally isn’t a sustainable tactic, compared to the power of building a mass movement.

I do celebrate Thompson's assassination, but I don't advocate copycats.

Celebrating the murder is advocacy.
