摘要
Christine Hobden's Citizenship in a Globalised World puts forth an innovative account of citizens' collective responsibility for state injustice. While this account adjusts the burden of rectifying collective responsibility in accordance to capacity, influence, and benefit, it nonetheless holds that everyone, regardless of their differentiated circumstances, is equally part of the collective that is morally responsible for the injustices that their state perpetrates. Furthermore, being responsible puts one on the moral hook for being blamed, included in collective punishment (wherever justified), and being asked to apologize and bear the burden of rectifying the injustice(s). This response paper questions whether a view that takes into account unequal positionality should or can endorse equal collective responsibility, and argues in the negative. Instead, I suggest that marginalized citizens' responsibility to correct for state injustice may be more plausibly construed as a responsibility to each other as subjects of common oppression.
