How is it hard? If the product is inferior, then it will be boycotted.
I just said how it is difficult, how boycot's of something like Coke would fail because people like how Coke tastes.

So you would restrict capitalism because of OTHER countries problems? Makes no sense to me.
Those other countries problems which would be benefitting US companies.

Companies that pollute would be driven out of business by lawsuits from the people affected.
Environmental impact should depend on science, not who can afford the best lawyer and ideology. I think people's lungs are far more important than ideology. Laws have a chance of preventing environmental abuse instead of having a new lawsuit pop up when its already too late. People may sue for damages, but they'd already have a foot in the grave.
