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

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

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

capitalism is a way of organizing society such that the means of production are owned by private interest, and the working class is employed by the owners to produce goods. a farmer working their own land is not actung as a capitalist.

A farmer farming their land and sell it is absolutely participating in capitalism and moreso if they hired farm labor.

if they have hired labor, that does change the analysis, but selling the product of your own labor is not capitalism.
