        Not really once you realize that they chose that name because of Google. They call all their stuff shit like "El Sandinista" and "Comrade Cluck".

        They're the epitome of "sell the revolution". They rightly realized that the overlap between leftism and veganism was huge and decided to appropriate leftism as a means to sell stolen surplus value.

            They did, so the company just changed it to El Capitan once they realized that using actual socialists as tools in their garbage marketing could backfire when they fucked over their employees.
