I had never heard it was dedicated to anti-capitalism. They have tried to keep it free, for sure...but the vendors do pretty well there...and most of the music I see is pretty much non-political...Swedish fiddling, (which I love to death) cloggers, more bluegrass than you can shake a stick at...I guess I would think of it as neutral rather than anti-anything. And fun besides. And I love those calzones by the whozi brothers. mg
