I’m not familiar with the organization, but it looks like they’re just advocating for a more stable version of capitalism, which doesn’t challenge the Waltons or Walmart in any way. It could even be as cynical as “don’t deport our minimum wage workers” because hiring is expensive.
Also, anyone who ties their identity and virtue to being citizens of a genocidal settler colony that has trampled over human rights and dignity in pretty much every corner of the world is, at best, a bit sus.
Yeah, agreed. But it’s unfortunate that this is now being intermixed with other movements pertaining to all of this which more directly are concerned with capitalism. Feels like an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” kind of dynamic, which is more than a little risky - especially when the enemy of my enemy is a much more powerful entity than I am, I run the risk of my message being completely drowned out by theirs.

Totally valid concerns. Capitalists love to co-opt their opposition.
