Description

Anti-Capitalist Operating System powers the website of the guerrilla art collective Together We Can Defeat Capitalism (TWCDC). Released in parallel with the Windows ME and Apple OS X (Public Beta) operating systems, Anti-Capitalist Operating System takes a different approach to the corporate paradigm: by building our own operating systems we can hack our way out of the current impasse of capitalism. Folders on the website contain documentation of projects undertaken by TWCDC.
