if corporations can be people, is arson a valid form of protest?

inspired by the Ontario, California warehouse fire of April 2026, “All You Had To Do Was Pay Us Enough To Live” is inspired by Bic-wielding comrade. the zine provides some compelling data on wage theft and stagnation, the gulf between worker pay and productivity and other stats that are sure to get your blood boiling.

the zine is free to download, and designed in a simple, “magic zine” style for easy reproduction.

this is the second in a series of radical zines titled “Insurrectionary Material”. the term was recently used to describe zines (“Prosecutors have also noted the presence of multiple firearms, “insurrectionary materials called ‘zines,’”) as part of the case against the so-called “North Texas Antifa Cell” that was arrested in connection with a demonstration at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Alvarado, Texas in July 2025.
