Smash Capitalism - buy Amazon

Is it just me or don't people think it is beyond the pale that a so-called Libertarian Communist website has a massive link to Amazon? I mean people laugh at yer squatter man for making anarchists look confused on the BBC website but equally what would the press say when they see a supposedly radical web forum with the amazon link - advertising xmas shopping!! FFS!

And yeah, sure we all might buy a gift at xmas or even shop on amazon for books but I would never mixed that up with radical politics!! Because its not.

This leads me a question regarding the running of this website - a so-called community -- run by a few. It fact this isn't a libertarian community site as all we can do is make suggestions on the feedback thread. Why should a minority of people decide how this web site is run when there are over 2,500 subscribers on it. Is it because of a meritocracy? Is it because these 10 individuals "own" the site (means of communication) so they decide on things.

Its just a little bit dodgy that the "owners" to this very "public" tool are replicating the structure of a capitalist society. And I'm not piss taking on this one - I'm serious - its actually affecting things for the worst. And like some of the Admins have said in the past that they hated the lifestylists(us) for burning people out and disillusioning them by our stunts..etc when only a small fraction of the said 2,500 actually come back and post!!
