The Cacerolazo is a tactic I had never heard of that seems incredibly accessible. In this form of protest, all different types of people can participate. You can walk in the streets or lean out of the windows of your home, age or physical ability have no bearing on participation, it is for everyone. However, this event does not physically stop the actions you are trying to protest, but it does provide a loud voice on an issue.
The principle that anyone can act is a helpful one for normal people approaching difficult infiltration tactics. It basically reminds you that you are not as obvious or terrible as you think as long as you remain calm and don't blow the cover. This article is absolutely helpful for when the plans are laid and the people executing the plans become nervous, it is very helpful in allowing the "actor" to get out of their head and trust the rehearsed plan.
I am not sure if I agree entirely with the Commodity Fetishism Theory. It is argued that there is no natural law that governs economic markets and it would be basically useless to find them anyway because human beings have the agency to change anything they want to change. Humans buy more things than they themselves can ever keep track of and we know that there are many factors that affect why and how things sell, whether those factors are unnatural (like good advertising) or natural, like an increase in rain boots during the winter. Most of the time, humans are not buying and selling consciously in accordance with the way they want to see the world work, and I am interested in the work of economists to bring to light new theories of truly why things are the way they are so that we can form new honest ways to approach these issues.
