child labor is used because it is cheap and raises profits not bc people buy the products produced with child labor

Wtf does that even mean? Where do profits come from if you produce a product that isn't sold?

    child labor, poor conditions, exploitation etc don't come from consumption they are a result of the logic of capitalism of profit maximization. the no ethical consumption phase is simply a tautology, you need to up end the mode of production not not consume, to consume is to live. logical conclusions need to be followed to their ends to figure out if you're in a death cult or not
