I'm writing a short story about an ambiguous unorganized

Sounds interesting, the commercialization of ideology is a theme i personally haven't heard a lot being written about (then again, maybe I just read shit books).

Excerpt?

i would read it if all i had to go on was the blurb and the vague notion that the author isn't complete trash.

Interesting idea.
It should be a satire on the stupidity of identity politics and how capitalism tricks stupid leftists into thinking they actually changed things by consuming products

I would read it

How properly does the company fill the role of a vanguard party? Do they actually partake in revolutionary activity or is it just used to make the protesters complacent and to keep consuming by using the rhetoric? From whose perspective is the story told?

i really like the idea

Not bad. Keep working at it.

You don't need /lit/'s advice.

Cool idea. I've actually been thinking about this kind of theme a lot lately. As mentioned by other posters, there's an interesting way in which identity politics and other vaguely "progressive" efforts can be absorbed and even in some cases commodified by corporations, with the larger neoliberal, capitalist structures left completely undamaged. Here's a few links of reading material on the topic. Two of them are from a black Marxist professor named Adolph Reed who writes about how anti-racist efforts in the US are often neoliberal efforts, and another one that is just a collection of tweets from Deray McKesson (the BLM guy) that seem to imply that he's some kind of corporate shill:

It's about the execution, not the plot.

It kinda freaks me out that the mainstream media is so tightlipped about this that it hasn't become old news yet. People in the gun-rights community are pretty adept at uncovering the "grassroots marketing" employment histories of Bloomberg-hired activists who pose as simple concerned citizens so it's never surprising, but always dismaying.
