(For simplicity’s sake, I’ll reply to both comments here)

What you said about the supply chain and not being aware of all the details of the business because in the end it’s not our business, made a lot of sense. I can look around all I want, but there’s a natural barrier put in place, I see.

I think trying to organise your workplace is a good start though.

Fair point! I need to look more into this. I’d imagine starting asking colleagues for their political affiliation might be too much too soon lol maybe a first start would be asking for possible issues to address within the company?

Another thing to keep in mind regarding ethics is that even in a more socialist way of working you can have a lack of ethics as well […] I think ultimately it boils down to the system they too are forced to operate in.

This is exactly what motivated this question! Obviously just saying shrugging off all criticisms with “no ethical consumption” is intellectually lazy, but also… The system still forces your hand at times. And finding that balance can be very hard without external input. Especially if the input is not from like minded people like you illustrated with your example with that Mondragon company
