...morality, by definition, is the code of behaviour of an individual, not a community.
So it would be erroneous to describe a community as acting "immoral" for, as an example, building a wall or legalizing abortion? The correct word would be "unethical"?

You can refer to a person as amoral or immoral. You can even refer to a community as amoral or immoral (in that everyone in the community is lacking morality).

Yes, as it is a human construct, if that's how you judge relativity. But we can agree on some objective facts and argue from them with valid logic, meaning the conclusions aren't really "subjective" or "relative".

Morals are effectively standards. Standards exist in and of themselves. In other words they exist independently of man and for specific reasons. While you may wish the standards were something else, outcomes tell us that not all behaviors lead to equal outcomes. That some behaviors lead to better outcomes and some behaviors lead to worse outcomes.Yes, as it is a human construct, if that's how you judge relativity.
