Americans for Ingredient Transparency: The Industrial Food Front Group

August 27, 2026AntiCorporatism

When the largest processed-food and soda companies in America form a coalition and name it “Americans for Ingredient Transparency,” a reasonable person should assume the name is doing work the products cannot. The work is the combining of political power with corporate profit. The product is another propaganda machine, with you and your children’s health in its crosshairs.

Americans for Ingredient Transparency, or AFIT, launched in October 2025 — about the time processed-food companies could see that the Trump administration would no longer protect the official story that had served them for decades. Its public line is simple, and it is propaganda: a “patchwork” of state food laws confuses shoppers, raises grocery prices, and hurts small business. The cure, it says, is one national standard. That is the same promise that accompanied generations of politicians, academia, and “health” officials pushing the processed-food industry’s food pyramid — the inverted advice that helped spawn a diabetes epidemic in the United States.

This is a bid to pull the fight out of statehouses and keep the machine running in Washington, where the same companies already keep full-time lobbyists and where corporatist politicians are happy to sell out their constituents to the interests that fund them.

This is corporatism in its modern form. These companies do not merely sell cereal, soda, and boxed dinners. They use the coercive power of government to lock in rules they can live with and to extinguish rules they cannot — at the expense of your family’s health.

The Tyranny of the Average: Why Society Punishes the Very Minds That Advance It

August 12, 2026AntiCorporatism

There is a quiet but relentless pressure in modern society to force every person toward the statistical middle. If a child does not learn the way the plurality of children learn, if an adult prefers solitude to constant social performance, if someone thinks faster, sees patterns others miss, or questions assumptions most people never notice, the response is rarely celebration. More often it is diagnosis, remediation, ranking systems that reward conformity, and a cultural message that difference itself is a problem to be fixed.

The result is a society that treats the average as a moral ideal rather than a mathematical description. And in doing so, it systematically devalues the very people most likely to expand what is possible.

The Historical Record Is Clear

Isaac Newton was an introverted, obsessive, socially difficult man who spent long periods in near isolation. Albert Einstein was a late talker, a poor student by conventional metrics in some subjects, and a thinker who refused to accept the consensus physics of his time. Both were outliers. Both were, by the standards of their peers, deviant in how they learned, worked, and related to the world. Neither was harming anyone. Both changed the trajectory of human knowledge more than thousands of competent, well-adjusted average minds combined.

History is filled with such figures. The pattern is consistent: breakthroughs rarely come from those who fit neatly inside the existing distribution of thought and behavior. They come from people who see differently, process information differently, or refuse to accept the boundaries most people treat as fixed. When society treats those differences as defects rather than potential assets, it is not protecting the common good. It is protecting the comfort of the majority at the expense of progress.

Your Government, Academia, and the Pharmaceutical Industry; Killing You Slowly for Decades: How Corporatism Inverted America’s Diet for the Benefit of the Politically Connected

August 7, 2026AntiCorporatism

For decades, the United States government told Americans to build their diets on grains and to treat fats with suspicion. The 1992 Food Pyramid placed bread, cereal, rice, and pasta at the base—six to eleven servings a day—while instructing citizens to use fats “sparingly.” Low-fat products flooded the market, many of them loaded with sugar and refined carbohydrates. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic disease rose in lockstep.

This was not a simple scientific error. It was the predictable result of corporatism: the fusion of government authority with private commercial interests that stood to profit from the advice being issued in the name of public health.

The Documented Proof

In the 1960s, the Sugar Research Foundation paid Harvard scientists the equivalent of roughly $50,000 in today’s dollars to produce a literature review. The resulting 1967 paper in the New England Journal of Medicine minimized evidence linking sugar to heart disease and directed attention toward saturated fat instead. The industry selected the studies, reviewed drafts, and the funding was never disclosed.

The DSA & Slavery: Justifying The Democratic Socialists of America Platform, and the Justification for Slavery

August 4, 2026AntiCorporatism

The fight against the ideology of the Democratic Socialists of America and its current “Workers Deserve More” program is waged by people with the same principles and morality as those who fought in favor of slavery in the United States. This becomes unmistakable once the arguments used to justify the DSA platform are placed side-by-side with the arguments once used to justify slavery.

Although the two platforms are positioned from different perspectives, both arguments are morally and ethically the same:

Argument 1: These elements of society are “rights”

The DSA platform repeatedly frames healthcare, housing, education, and other goods and services as human rights that must be guaranteed at no cost to the individual. Housing is explicitly called a “human right.” Universal healthcare is to be provided with no premiums, co-pays, or deductibles. College is to be free. A 32-hour workweek is demanded with no reduction in pay or benefits. Basic needs are to be guaranteed, and the largest corporations are to be placed under public ownership and therefore under political control. Read more →
