So, alt and punk culture is - because that whole counterculture thing has always had left roots.

However, alt culture has started to go a bit hypebeast crazy - buying clothes that are mad expensive for name brand recognition value.

For me, I have some outfits that I think qualify as Brutalist fashion, if there can be such a thing. Utility fashion. I wear my big manual labour work boots, a sturdy black jacket, then trackies or cargos. It's not meant to be pretty. Just comfy, and useful.

I have another outfit in mind that's a sort of homage to USSR Space Exploration, but it's not fully thought out yet.

Whats some cool lefty fashion stuff? Facts, fits, whatever. Just kinda riff around the subject.

    I suppose so. But under capitalism isn't doing ANYTHING excluding the desperate? If I make a film, or own a fancy power tool, or whatever, those are opportunities not open to the downtrodden.
