Items From Our Catalog


Here at Amalgamated Concerns, we've found a way that you can save money while you overthrow capitalism. Our catalog offers the very latest line of environmentally-conscious knick-knacks. These products are intended to clutter your home, not our natural landfills.

To demonstrate the depth of our commitment, ten percent of the first penny you spend on these products is given to Citizens Toward a Democratic Democracy (CDD) who are working to make Democracy work.
