The first Sunday of JUNE each year is International Capitalism Day.
In 2008, Capitalism Day will be on Sunday June 01.
From New York to Nairobi, from London to Lahore, from Gothenburg to Gdansk, many thousands of individuals, families, and groups from every walk of life, from every corner of the globe have participated and shown they are willing to stand up proudly for worldwide freedom and prosperity.
Celebrate Capitalism™ is a positive campaign of promotion, discussion, and festivities - NOT a counter protest.
What is Capitalism?
Capitalism is NOT defined by the actions of today's so-called "capitalists" (i.e. money-makers).
In fact many of today's corporations are quite ANTI capitalist in their principles AND actions (eg. subsidies, tariffs, special privileges, etc.)
Capitalism is not even, fundamentally about money - although money is an integral and very good aspect of Capitalism!
Capitalism Day !
The first ever Capitalism Day was organized by PRODOS and colleagues in Melbourne, Australia back in the 1980's.
Originally, Capitalism Day was held on the first Sunday of December. At the request of Northern Hemisphere supporters, this was changed to the first Sunday of JUNE.
One of the campaign's key mottoes is: "I own my life!"
