Revolution in America
Attack on Liberalism
"In everything that exists, there is at work an imaginative force, which is determined by ideals" (Hayden).

i, being of a somewhat more hippie kind of persuasion, really enjoyed reading this but would like to bring up a few of my main critiques of major corporations. For one, certification implies an agency to do the certification and you have to pay them for it. Thus becoming certified organic can cost more than a coffee grower can afford regardless of whether or not they are, in fact, using organic farming practices. but mainly i find that when i look at globalized corporations it is easier for them to dehumanize those who produce the raw materials that make their products. i find this within myself, as well. when i buy from an actual person who has made something i own i appreciate the effort more than when i got it at someplace like target, american apparel or any other non-local vendor. is it terrible? no, it isn't. but that dehumanization can lead, in my view of things, to treating a person as less than property, worse as a mere means of production like a machine.
Also, from personal experience being on the Fortune 500 top companies list doesn't ensure you'll be treated well. i worked for REI for almost three years and in the end got shit on just like i would have if i were there for a month.
i'd really like to express a joy for seeing this critical outlook, though. face value and what feels good isn't necessarily what is good.
