He was talking to two dudes who liked like tire mechanics. I saw him right when I was entering the building so I didn't really get a chance to check it out. Idk if it was a shirt for an org or what, as far away as I was it may have been an anti-communist shirt for all I know. I was hoping I'd see him again when I left but sadly he was gone.

Anyway I just thought that was weird.

      Cool design but a 40 dollar t shirt is bourgeoisie decadence

        If its made to order in a union shop, shirt too, then 40 bucks is probably what it costs with some proceeds going to podcast and probably artist .

        Most things are cheap now BC of massive exploitation. As multi polarity increases expect most things to become more inline with this shirt.

          That might be true if the shirts were made to order in union shops with vaguely fair profit sharing. There's nothing I can see to indicate that's the case here, though, just bourgeois decadence.

            bourgeois decadence is when branded merch? communism is when you only dress in the cheapest possible clothing?

            I have some hesitance about it too, but admittedly it wouldn't be non-exploitative even if this happened in a union shop with great profit sharing. The raw materials and t-shirt blanks would likely be another story, and so would the delivery and payment processing, and union shops aren't exactly revolutionary even if they tend to be better for workers.

            I can see the argument that its more important to build up a communist media apparatus (and this requires money) than to refuse to make money by not selling anything because of ethical concerns that are basically impossible to fully address.

              Sorry, I clearly didn't deliver it well, but the "bourgeois decadence" was honestly just a joke. I agree with all thata you said.
