I don't want to take away from the general thrust of your point, I just don't think we have actually seen boycotts that people were actually fired up en masse to enforce.
I think up until right this very moment the general center of mass of society has been largely ok with most of what capitalism is, I think that is going to continue to drastically change, and we will see a lot more wildcat boycotts of companies that significantly hurt them.
That being said I agree that overly focusing on that as a strategy isn't necessarily wise, but boycotts are definitely a weapon that can absolutely blow up the bridges of corporate 'Murica.
