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!

The Globalization of Palestine Action with Max Geller
Jewish organizer and activist Max Geller joins me to talk about the birth of new Palestine Action chapters around the world in response to the intensified genocide that has been raging for 4 straight months.
As discussed in last year's episode featuring Jodie Jones, Palestine Action is a UK-based network of activists that has permanently shut down 2 arms factories and caused millions in damages to Israel’s arms dealers. The main target of this network is Elbit Systems, which Max describes as the “most evil company in the entire world."
Calls to Action:
Follow Palestine action on Twitter and Instagram (UK, US, France, Italy, Scotland)
Take a Palestine Action direct action training
Help provide arrestee, court, and prison support
Donate to their Legal Defense Fund
Cocktail Pairing: The Direct Actionist
45ml Rye Whiskey
22ml Campari
15ml Cynar or bitter amaro
8ml Peaty Scotch (like Laphraig)
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir with plenty of cubed ice until drink is properly diluted and chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
Cut an orange peel and flame the oils over the drink: Express the oils by squeezing the peel in half with one hand while using the other to hold a lighter or match. Release the orange oils into the flame over the drink so the flaming oils land on top of the drink. Discard orange peel and garnish with a fresh Bay Laurel leaf.
Note: use any good Peaty Scotch available such as Laphraig, Ardbeg, Bruichladdich, Caol Ila, or Lagavulin.
Cocktail crafted by bartender Jesse Torres.
Cocktails & Capitalism is an anticapitalist labor of love, but we could use your help to make this project sustainable. If you can support with even a dollar a month, that would really help us continue to educate, agitate, and amplify the voices of those who are working to dismantle capitalism and create a better world.
