I'm A Socialist Taking On Amazon and a Corporate Onslaught in Seattle

SUMMARY:

  • This Op-Ed Seattle Council member KShama Sawant comments on how socialism and people power are fighting back against corporate control of Seattle.


AUDIENCE APPEAL:

  • This piece is a heavy socialist thinkpiece, due to the liberal, socialist politics of Teen Vogue readers. Amazon is also a current controversial topic, which splits the general public. Teen Vogue's supposed anti-capitalist beliefs further support the content of this piece and the main gratfication would be Personal Identity.

COMMENT:

  • This piece both complies with Teen Vogue's key beliefs but also contradicts recent stories. Just last month, Teen Vogue wrote an article on the 'Best Bargains of Amazon Prime Day' which completely contradicts the above article. However, the liberal socialist politics as well as op-ed format is extremely on brand for Teen Vogue.
