    In other words private boycotts DO have material consequences, as long as they’re mediated through collective action

    that’s not a private boycott anymore. like the terms are useless if you want to use them that way.

      It’s a distinction without a difference in the first instance, whether solo or collectively; at the end of the day it’s still your wallet that’s the leverage point, unless you got a joint personal bank account with your local org?

        nah it’s the mass action that makes it do literally anything. otherwise i’m boycotting every company i happen to not buy anything from, which on most days is all of them.
