Why are blood diamonds bad?
I don't expect Wikipedia to have a moral stance and say "this is bad", but I would appreciate if the article told, in some neutral way, why blood diamonds are a thing people don't like. Does it hurt people? Who? How? Could the article include citations like "This important UN person spoke about blood diamonds and declared that they were harmful in this and that way"; etc.
Right now the article just seems to assume that everyone knows that blood diamonds are bad and why they're bad, and just explains who does it and who fights against it.

- Yeah... I came to this talk page just to say that whilst things like child and exploitative labour etc. are obviously bad things, they are more artefacts of the capitalist process than anything else and each abuse should be addressed and possibly dealt with; but this 'process' for 'blood diamonds' seems to be merely a way of blackguarding and isolating governments/groups one does not approve of ( aka revolution [ bad ] --- against present governments established by revolution [ good ] ) whereby human rights abuses etc. only matter when the bad guys do it.
- I recently noticed the page on US Steel has some interesting information on the use of unpaid prisoners, yet no-one cares compared to the [ enemy ] Soviet or Nazi use of unpaid prisoners... Claverhouse (talk) 02:00, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
