Oh, we can absolutely debate their value as an ally. And if a union wants to boycott Taiwan, or Canada god forbid, they probably should have the right to do so

Oh, we can absolutely debate their value as an ally. And if a union wants to boycott Taiwan, or Canada god forbid, they probably should have the right to do so. It gets a bit more complicated with buyers however, what happens if companies do not want to 'sell to' groups, like 'Republicans' or 'LGBTQ advocates' etc.. I think we probably ought to err on letting people decide who they want to sell and buy from and then be very careful when we interject on that, with a difference to protecting individuals rights, and from specific kinds of harm and/or arbitrary treatment. Which is all a bit different from the government itself deciding who and who not to buy from.
