It’s causing a struggle session because we’re all still trying to shed our mental habits of idealistic morality. It’s hard and results in these sorts of things.
another point i’ll express here, bc i don’t want to wade into the mire below, is that the solution to the problems caused by the logic of capitalism is class struggle. you mention that loud boycotts work but they don’t, they don’t change the logic,and they use up a lot of effort
Agreed, that’s why I try to couple the statement that loud boycotts work with the caveat that it only works to achieve reforms. When one takes a global perspective in class struggle, that fits loud boycotts into a specific place in society and if one is inclined against reformism, it relegates boycotts to the realm of deck chairs on the titanic
