the end goal is to cause bad actors to go bankrupt and force politicians to bend the knee to the people rather than oligarchs with a unified show of force, not to reduce the USA to developing nation status.

And I guess you don't name any bad actors because of course nobody would agree who is a bad actor and who isn't.
I have my opinions, but it's ultimately up to collective action and advocacy to decide. I'm pretty sure Oracle or Adobe wouldn't get any pushback though.
Who will replace their software? I mean, Oracle is famous for somehow convincing many hospitals to run on their software. So you'll have to either accept they won't run anymore or rewrite thousands of systems ... And I bet worldwide we're talking hundreds of thousands. Who will do that and how will you pay them?

But even that is nothing compared to the other question. You want the US to be better than third world. Ok ... but that depends on the third world not getting these advantages. So how will you force the actual third world to keep working for much less rights and ... than you give people in the US for free?

Because "the revolution" of course doesn't work without that.
