Thoughts on whether boycotting is capitalistic. (lemmy.world)

I built a product and I framed a lot of the outreach presuming: boycotting is capitalistic. My product is framed in a way that also is intended to save capitalism from what I see as an inevitable collapse, and to delay late-stage capitalism. It was very difficult to build! But I wanted to know what you all think. To save SOME of you the effort, I went ahead and asked chatgpt, and got this response: "capitalistic in method, potentially non-capitalist—or anti-capitalist—in purpose."

What are all of your thoughts? If you had to classify boycotting as solely capitalistic, non-capitalist, or anti-capitalist, with no inbetween, where would you place it?

Shill account.

And literally nobody asked you to ask chatgpt, that is the laziest method of discourse.

Deleted, thanks for showing me where this topic is going in this part of lemmy. I won't be discussing it any further.

It depends what it is.

If it's a product then yes, boycotting is capitalistic. It is, in its method, a form of "free market" choice.

If it's a system (like strike action/protest), then it's anti-capitalistic, and could be classed as non-capitalistic because it's a form of socialistic action.

My 2c at least - but I don't pride myself on my vast intellect.
