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!

COCKTAIL PAIRING: THE TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS
The name of the drink is an economic science term that describes a situation in which individual users, who have open access to a resource unhampered by shared social structures or formal rules that govern access and use, act independently according to their own self-interest and, contrary to the common good of all users, cause depletion of the resource through their uncoordinated action. This concept describes a fundamental problem inherent to anarchocapitalism: the tendency of the individual to neglect the wellbeing of society when pursuing self-interest and personal gain
