Is TokyoProgressive  becoming Tokyo Regressive?
image exampleNo at all.  We remain as anti-corporate as ever. But real world bills are paid with real world money, and how many of us are willing to forgo money in order to be true to our principles? TokyoProgressive understands that many readers. for various reasons, are goiing to want a order a book or CD or "environmental friendly" product  from entities that are both for-profit and non-profit.  Many such entities offer a percentage of their profits to the referrer, normally in the range of 5-8 percent of the total price. Why not take it, if the price is not thereby inflated and if you were going to order it anyway?

We have tried in the past to encourage readers to donate in order to cover our hosting expenses, which include the costs we incur in providing free hosting to others with similar ideals. In more than 10 years, that has netted a total of about 200 dollars.

We have gone out of our way to find retailers who offer products TokyoProgressive readers may actuallly want, so you will not find American flags or  weapons of mass destruction here. And you still have the opion of donating to us directly via paypal. 

We also suggest you take a look at the following community services (art, books, poetry, music, web-hosting and related). Some are free, some are not. We get no money for any of the sites listed on those pages. But if you DO want to spend your money within the progressive community, these are all recommended.
