Re: Dumping.
If you live in a society where your choice is starve to death or work for slave wages, that society is socially constructed. Specifically, it's constructed by the people who benefit from it.
The fact that there isn't one particular person doing it doesn't mean the choice isn't being imposed. And "nature" isn't responsible for it. People - specifically the people who are running things, who are making the rules - are responsible.
If we were living in a state of nature, perhaps he'd have a point. But we're not living in a state of nature. We're not hunting and gathering anymore. (Though even hunter-gatherers share.) We're living in a socially constructed civilization, the rules of which are created by people - not nature. And we're entitled to create rules that we like.
