I am short on time now so I can't spend time on this but I will say that Culture Jammers, like most counter cultural efforts to bring down "consumer culture" miss their mark completely. I believe they fundamentally don't understand how capitalism and pop culture works.

Capitalism thrives on alternative culture, coolness and rebelliousness.

If you truly want to bring down capitalism, the key is to radically conform.
Buy nothing? feh. Earn nothing. This will truly bring down the "system".
