"And I think a lot of people make the mistake of criticizing individuals for consumption. In fact, the popular meme about this is: there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. But I think it would be beneficial if we started wording that a little bit differently. Specifically that: there are no ethical consumables under capitalism. I think we need to stop putting the emphasis on the consumer or customer, and start putting it on capital."

Increasingly, business tried to persuade individuals that personal identity depended not on geography, family background, religious values, occupation, or similar things, but on choices made among consumer goods found in the market-place. This message struck a responsive chord . . . material goods make visible and stable the categories of culture, but in nineteenth-century North America and elsewhere, as local and particular identity became unglued, there was an extraordinary inclination to rely on goods as social anchors.

Wild GOP race an example of questionable brand attachment

Forget likability and the favorable/unfavorable poll data. There's a mountain of evidence to suggest that likability is a very poor predictor of consumer behavior. Many consumers claim to like brands they never buy. In contrast, attachment has been proven to be a strong predictor of purchase behavior and long-term loyalty. We measure attachment by how much a consumer views a brand as part of their own identity--how much they see themselves in it, their values, their life. Looking at the various polling data, voters are having a hard time seeing any of the candidate brands as an extension of who they are. Worse, the GOP brand is fragmented, creating two different sets of values to facilitate brand attachment. Before a voter can project their Republicanism into their self concept, they have to struggle with which kind of Republican they're attached to. In consumer branding, we'd call this a band dispersion problem-when a master brand means so many things that it becomes less effective at attaching itself to any consumer identity.

Like any good brand, the candidates and the GOP have to focus on the promise of their brands and be comfortable being disliked by some of their constituents. Here's why. Even though they might not like the brand at the moment, if a voter can seetheir values in the candidate's brand, they'll stay the course. They're attached. A lot of voters didn't "like" Bill Clinton before and during his presidency. The same is true for George W. Bush. But many voters identified with the values of each candidate brand and they cast their votes accordingly.
