    It's going to be a very large number, for sure - though that was also the case for SA and Israel.

    Or even slave-made goods, where it was sometimes very difficult to avoid slave-made cotton (though former slaves managed to do so more often than everyone else). Even when participation is piecemeal, inadequate, or close to impossible, it's a valuable recruiting tool and it does bring attention and public pressure.

        Yes, just like you (almost) couldn't be clothed without slave cotton.

        Most versions of consumption abolition are incomplete by necessity. Their impact is not usually through perfectly avoiding all products in the class, but by doing what is practicable and building solidarity through the campaign.
