America Can Do Better Than Capitalism Bumper Sticker, 11" x 3"

Sized to be read. At eleven inches by three, the wording is legible from a following car rather than requiring anyone to tailgate you to make it out.

Printed on durable vinyl. Built for weather, sun, and automatic car washes rather than for a single season.

Says the quiet part plainly. No symbolism to decode and no in-joke. The sticker means what it says, which is the whole appeal of the format.

• Size: 11 inches by 3 inches
• Material: printed vinyl with adhesive backing
• Wording: America Can Do Better Than Capitalism
• Intended for exterior vehicle application; also used on laptops, toolboxes, notebooks, and water bottles
• Apply to a clean, dry, smooth surface. Adhesive vinyl bonds best in mild temperatures.
• Removal may leave residue on paint depending on age and sun exposure. Choose your spot before peeling the backing.

Honestly, there isn't one, and we would rather say so than invent it. This is a political sticker. It has no traditional correspondences, no elemental attribution, and no history in any magical practice, because it was designed as speech rather than as a working tool.

That said, plenty of practitioners hold that what you say publicly and what you commit to are connected, and that putting a stated position where you will see it daily is a form of keeping yourself honest. If you want to treat it that way, nothing stops you. Some people do pass a sticker through smoke before applying it, in the same spirit as any other declaration.

But the sticker is doing the ordinary work of a sticker. Any meaning in it is yours, brought by you, and we are not going to sell you a correspondence table for a piece of vinyl.

1. Decide where it is going before you peel anything. Eleven inches needs a genuine flat run, so measure your bumper or rear window first.
2. Clean the surface and let it dry completely. Wax and road film are what make corners lift a month later.
3. Peel the backing, lay one short edge down first, then smooth across from that edge so the air pushes out ahead of you.
4. Press the edges down firmly and leave the vehicle unwashed for a day so the adhesive can set.
5. Consider your surroundings. This is a visible political statement, and only you can judge how it will land where you park.

• Banish Hate, Invoke Love Pentacle Bumper Sticker: the same format with the craft angle, if you want both on one bumper.
• Screw-Up Fairy Bumper Sticker: for when the bumper needs a joke rather than a manifesto.
• Catdalf Tote Bag: another way to carry your opinions around in public.
• Pentacle Altar Tile, 2 3/4 in: for the indoor half of the practice.
• Honoring Your Ancestors by Mallorie Vaudoise: a text that takes seriously the link between practice and how you live.

Will it survive a car wash?

Yes, provided it went on properly. Vinyl bumper stickers handle automatic washes, rain, and sun for years. Almost every failure traces back to the surface being waxy, dusty, or damp when the sticker was applied rather than to the vinyl itself.

Will it wreck my paint coming off?

It can leave adhesive residue, especially after a few years in the sun. Warming it with a hair dryer and peeling slowly helps a lot. If you would rather not risk the paint at all, put it on glass instead.

Is there a magical use for this?

Not a traditional one, no. It is a political sticker with no inherited correspondences. If you want to work with it as a declaration you are keeping yourself to, that is entirely reasonable, but the meaning comes from you rather than from the object.

Can I put it somewhere other than a car?

Yes. Laptops, toolboxes, notebooks, instrument cases, and water bottles all work. Eleven inches is long, so check you have the run before committing. Any clean, smooth, non-porous surface will hold it well.

Does Plentiful Earth stand behind the message?

We stock it, which is a choice we made. Beyond that we would rather let the sticker speak for itself than write you an essay about it. If it says something you want said, it is here.
