    How is a farmers market a resistance to capitalism? It’s in the very sprit of capitalism to increase efficiency and remove the middle man

      Increasing efficiency isn’t capitalism; letting those with capital decide is capitalism. If you exclude capital and just do the thing directly, you’re resisting capitalism.

      most farmer’s markets where i am have a heavy emphasis on community building and resiliency as well as income stabilization for vulnerable people with the bank’s sword of Domacles hanging over them. of the three i mentioned, they are the weakest form of resistance but they still have a role to play, which is why Granges put so much work into making sure they are available to non members of the grange
