Cocktails & Capitalism
Cocktails & Capitalism is a podcast that pairs crafted beverages with stories distilled from our capitalist hellscape. This is more than a true corporate crime show — our episodes uplift the activists and organizers who are working to oppose the destructive forces of capitalism and begin creating a better reality.
.
Our crafted cocktails help us tap into the gallows humor necessary for surviving late stage capitalism. Some of these stories can get pretty dark, so get ready and grab a drink! You can even make the custom cocktail or mocktail crafted by our resident bartender, Jesse Torres. (Find the recipes in our episode notes!)
.
We are committed to making this show free and accessible for everyone. Since we don’t want to engage in capitalist advertising practices to fund this project, we’ve decided to make this a listener-supported show. You can help us sustain this anticapitalist independent media project by signing up on Patreon for any monthly amount.

Huge thanks to the amazing anticapitalists who are supporting this project! Cheers & solidarity forever!
