We must critically reflect the inhumane origins of traditional English and support more diversity.

Fairtrade bananas are produced much more ecologically than normal bananas.

And the farmers have certain guarantees concerning their wage.

Is this really so difficult to understand?

Or are you just a cynic who doesn't care about social and ecological progresses. Many Marxists belong to this group of cynics by the way.
I was just offering a bit of friendly advice

All language is derived from cultures that have oppressed people. But the purpose of language is to communicate. Both sides need a shared understanding of terms for it to work

I understand the jist of your point and I responded to it. You think capitalism + liberal democracy and regulation is the end point of history. I think that's an assumption with no basis. Unless you have a particular reason why it can never be replaced, I think we've reached a dead end there.
