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!

Rack ‘Em Up! Palestine Action Victories with Actionist Shibby of Revolutionary Lumpen Radio
With Palestine Action racking up the victories, it was high time that I spoke with veteran actionist Shibby about the network’s mind blowing direct action successes. We discuss the recent shutdown of a facility in Tamworth, the viral action that just took place in Scotland, and the high-level, low-level, and covert strategies that have been used by these brave activists.
We also touch on the ongoing efforts to ban Palestine Action in the UK, and why such a ban will fail to prevent this network from continuing its righteous work.
In addition to hosting Revolutionary Lumpen Radio, Shibby is a veteran activist with Palestine Action. We begin with the story of his radicalization.

The Free Palestine Cocktail
100 ml Watermelon Juice
30 ml Lime Juice
15 ml Simple Syrup (1:1 ratio) to taste
Small pinch of salt
25 ml green juice of choice (celery, apple, kale)
Optional:
25 ml Clear spirit like Mezcal, Tequila, Gin, Vodka, Arak, etc etc
Watermelon slice for garnish
Freeze a small layer of green juice in a glass ahead of time. Combine watermelon juice, lime juice, simple syrup, & a pinch of salt in a mixing tin and shake with cubed ice until properly diluted and chilled. Fill glass (containing frozen green juice) with crushed ice, then fine strain the watermelon mixture over the ice. This will create layers that resemble a watermelon.
Glassware: Collins glass or your favorite tall transparent drinking vessel
Garnish: Small watermelon wedge and/or raisins
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.
