Where is the hypocrisy? You don't have to believe that property is a natural right to want to own property. In making that assumption, you and tomd look like fools in this thread.

In general Kaj you are right that you can participate in a system you believe is unjust without being a hypocrite, but only if you HAVE to do it, right? Like a poor socialist worker still wants to own his own clothes, or not go to jail for stealing food or whatever.
I was pointing out that all of them had the option of working "in the public interest" but rather went for profit maximization instead. They could have done less "exploitative" work or made a comfortable living as labor rights advocates or the [censored] whatever. But no they want to make $200K+ a year and have their [censored] ing cheese and wine...that is what makes them hypocrites.
