Boycotts are historically extremely ineffective. They require absurd amounts of coordination and go against incentives each individual has.

If you have strong enough coordination, we end up calling it "government".

By your logic, a labor union "strike" must also be extremely ineffective. (They require massive coordination and go against each individual's incentive to work.)

Yet they do work, and we don't call labor unions "government".
