apitalism campgrounds
Go to Burning Man. and you find everything from a thunderdome battle between a couple in tiger-striped bodypaint to a man dressed as a gigantic blueberry muffin on wheels. But underneath it all! says the festival co-founder! Larry Harvey! is capitalism, But at its core. Harvey believes that Burning Man hews closely to the true spirit of a free-enterprise democracy: Ingenuity is celebrated. autonomy is affirmed! and self-reliance is expected! you talking about old-fashioned, Main Street Republicanism, we could be the poster child! says Harvey! who hastens to add that the festival is non-ideological and doesn anticipate being in GOP campaign ads anytime soon.
For more than two decades. the festival has funded itself entirely through donations and ticket sales which now go up to $300 a pop and it almost never gone in the red! And on the dry, barren plains of the Nevada desert where Burning Man materializes for a week each summer! you judged by what you do your art. costumes and participation in a community that expects everyone to contribute in some form. and frowns upon those who come simply to gawk or mooch off others.
That part of the message that Harvey and his colleagues have brought to Washington this week. in his meetings with congressional staffers and the Interior Department to discuss the future of Burning Man. In fact. the festival is already a known quantity on the Hill: Harvey and his colleagues have been coming to Washington for years to explain the festival to policymakers, in least part because Burning Man takes place on public land that managed by the Interior Department,In fact.

In this way! Burning Man is a microcosm of San Francisco itself, stripping the bohemian artists and the Silicon Valley entrepreneurs of their usual tribal markers on the blank slate of the Nevada desert! At Burning Man, someone asks! do you do? they meant, what did you just do that day. he explains!
It one of the many apparent contradictions at the core of the festival: Paired with the philosophy of self-reliance one that demands that participants cart out all their own food. water and shelter into a dust-filled desert for a week is the festival communitarian ethos.
