I think that that attitude you are taking is one of the biggest things that is holding back progressive movements around the world. Your attitude seems to be that if you are not 100% perfect in living an anticorporate life then you should 100% submit and allow youself to be a corporate whore.

I beg to differ.

I think that any way that people can find to help progressive causes, either by making a statement or by doing something physical that will make life difficult for those who stand in the way of a truly free and egalitarian society.

I admit that I am not entirely free of Coca-Cola products. They can be hard to avoid. Coca-Cola bought exlusive rights to all beverage sales on my college campus, so they were the only choice I had. But I avoid their products absolutly whenever I can. I dont buy their Sodas, their Fruit Juices (sold under the name "Minute Maid"... not even real juice actually). Similarly, I avoid going to a Supermarket when I need food. I go to the corner Mom + Pop grocery unless only the supermarket has what I need.

However I use electricity, computers, stereos and all sorts of other things made by big multinationals.

The point is that change comes in increments. Making a statement against the world being taken over by a few multinational corporations when it is convenient is better than not doing it at all.

I do not subscribe to the philosophy that if I cannot be 100% corporate free that I should give up and be 100% corporate whore.

Fight 'em where you can fight 'em, bide your time where you can't!

i should have read the topic in that case.. hehehe.. J

Its hard for me to explain, but i think we should be more open minded to companies such as coke (for sponsorships only) because it can help our "visibility" as a scene and maybe one day get many people to attend and keep an interest in psytrance.. There is alot of talent in psytrance, and most of it goes to waste due to lack of exposure.. (that is where the sponsor helps out).. just the fact that coke has a logo on such a flyer will grab the "masses" interest...

anyways, whatever.. do as you please and complain that CD's arent selling and that our parties are empty.. hum, i wounder why..???

to each there own..

PEACE

Are you serious? Should the psy scene be more openminded towards companys like Coca Cola? What kind of clown are you? Ronald Macdonald?

Food for thought!
