Resisting Capitalism for Fun by Laura-Marie



Resisting Capitalism for Fun

Life shouldn’t be a struggle & neither should resisting capitalism! Laura-Marie talks about being anarchist, living in community, and gives dozens of meaningful methods for dealing with capitalism. Her writing comes from lived experience and reading this zine is like reading a hope-full letter from an insightful friend. We are all immersed in this broken system called capitalism – isn’t it time for something better? 

Personal statement: I’m a terrible capitalist and have never felt comfortable with the corporate economic system that turns us into commodities and products. Capitalism has been responsible for depersonalization, objectification, rampant consumerism, and the de-valuing of human relationships in general. So this is a timely and much needed zine as we seem to be living in a system that values “wealth” and “profit” above everything else, even our mother earth. Resistance is not futile.

Glean Zine




Nicki’s zine delves into some issues that are near and dear to my heart – hunger in an abundant society and what we can do about it. Glean Zine presents an easy to (pun alert - sorry!) digest introduction to food recovery. We live in a culture that wastes more food than it consumes yet people are starving for nutrition (and genuine affection). This is a problem that is easily solved if we have the desire to solve it. Even in my own neighborhood, I see fruit trees with delicious fruit that is never picked to share. The next time you are at a supermarket & see all that “perfect” produce please remember: Many people are in need of a meal today. Our perfection is killing us.
