anticommercialism
Against market culture
Anticommercialism is opposition to commercial culture and the influence of business interests on society.
It critiques advertising, consumerism, and the commodification of public life: The punk movement embraced anticommercialism, rejecting corporate sponsorship.
The stance often appears in artistic and activist circles that resist market-driven values.
