Operation

At present, Resistance makes a 'profit' of $37 a week on a turnover of $150 (if you know anything about bookshops, you'll know that's a very small profit margin). Rent and general costs come to $28, leaving $9 total profit which doesn't cover the increase in stock each week. Debts are rising, and stand at present at $1300. A high turnover is obviously necessary for the business to progress. Besides this, there is at present something of a radical information revolution overseas. Much of it is capitalistic rip-off or Trotskyist double-think admittedly, but there is a lot of good stuff that Resistance would like to get hold of, but doesn't have the finance.
