Down with capitalism! Now, buy our shirts!
The anti-capitalism protest kicks off in downtown Denver later this afternoon at the Mint, which the radicals will attempt to “levitate.”
Meanwhile, the enemies of profit have been busy…trying to make a few bucks.
Do as they say…
Hat tip: PPC.

I sure hope they used only organic material and nothing from any of those capitalist sweat shops!
Typical. Do as I say, not as I do!
Gotta make dough to buy the weed, ya know.
I just ordered mine. NOT!
Yeah, OK, bet they were Made In China!
I’ll get one when Hades freezes over.
This has more irony than the koran.
And these idiots don’t see anything wrong here. Can we get a reporter to go ask them why they don’t just give the shirts to people that “need” them? After a couple of days of living in a park, some of these people could use a clean shirt to put on.
Do they even listen to themselves?
Made from pure “hemp” no doubt. Wear it once, smoke it for weeks!
Spectacular irony.
At one of the anti-war demonstrations here in DC, I asked one of the T-shirt sellers if the march was against T-shirts if he’d sell “DEATH TO T-SHIRT SALESMEN!” T-shirts. He said, “Sure, it’s all about the almighty dollar.”
What a way to highlight the disconnect from reality!
“Dood, you’re watering down the message!”
Bahahahaha
I’ll start listening to and taking the advice of these moonbats the 1st of nevuary.
- 30pcs
Oddly enough, that’s the same day my order of unobtanium is due to arrive.
We should impose a windfall profits tax on these hypocrites.
Not if you are into organic gardening.
An apparently lucrative enterprise? Quick, nobody tell Nancy Pelosi and her husband.
and other cheap wares to fellow DNC… too late.
DNC thy name is hypocrisy.
Right, Kingfish. The Democrats and their sycophants in Hollywood and the MSM should all be pictured in the dictionary as prime examples of hypocrites.
Isn’t that the second Tuesday of next week?
If I were there, I’d get those fools to buy all kinds of worthless stuff with silly slogans on them. I’d make a bundle, they would identify themselves as fools. Where’s the downside?
The Cubs are still in first place so Hades might be frozen very soon.
What a coincidence! That’s when my American Communist Lawyers Union membership goes into effect!
These are probably $15.00 a pop t-shirts made in some third world sweat shop by kids and widows who make a dollar for an eleven hour day in a shanty built on land that was formerly rain forest.
“The Capitalists will sell us the
ropebong with which we willhangsmoke them buds dude.”So much for self-awareness!
The t-shirt business has low barriers to entry, and my guess is these people are all too familiar with low barriers.
This is much like the music industry, putting out cd’s (or records back in the day) that puts down capitalism and the country, while raking in millions, ensuring the next recording of the same tripe. Who buys those? Check above link.
Speaking of “made in China”, NBC did a side story during the Olympics depicting the bloom having come off China’s economic flower. Seems many companies are moving elsewhere due to cost and quality issues. Too bad so sad……
Comrade,
I am afraid I can only barter this measely bag of potatos I was able to get from the government stores. Unfortunately, the farming proletariat only has these small potatos. I stood in line for only six hours this time! Much better than last week when I was in line for toilet paper for eight hours and it turned out to be line for dog poop scoopers. I only was able to get seven of those.
What is this money thing? You have shirt, I have potatos. Do you need dog poop scoopers?
So if I ran up there and swiped one would I be hailed as a proper anarchist/marxist/ revolutionary?
Would they be so reactionary as to call the police on me?
Rignerd #30 — hah. Direct hit.
What we don’t know - the sellers could be some enterprising conservatives doing their part to separate the moonbats from their money. If that is the case, I’m not sure there is a downside.
So - let’s not be too hard on the sellers till we know.
Heh, it reminded me of this t-shirt I saw a while back.
I can never talk to these people because I am laughing so hard.
Isn’t wearing cotton tshirts racist and eco-unfriendly at the same time? Just sayin!
No, you need to own the means of production to be a proper Marxist. That means taking over their parents’ basement.
Why is it, whenever I get a good idea for a business opportunity, some one beats me too it?
Next time I’ll be ready. I’ll go have some shirts made that say, “Merchants are enemies of the people and deserve to be executed” and I’ll sell them for $20 apiece.
I’ll be a millionaire in just a couple of days.
Oh, but surely they must be giving the money to the poor and needy!
/sarcasm
Nope. This is for their bail money.
Most of those hippie demonstrators believe it is possible to have capitalism without undue exploitation. Those t-shirts probably were not made in third world sweatshops where union leaders are shot (Columnia, Venezuela’s less tolerant neighbor).
No, they were probably made in (Liberal loving) Communist China, where innocent people are shot for speaking the truth. Tiananmen Square anyone?
The “little Marxist anti-capitalists” who buy and wear these t-shirts are walking oxyMORONS!
The people selling these t-shirts are the same ones selling the “Lesbians against Bush” t-shirts.
As Don King says, “Only in America.”
I should confiscate the profits from these lowlifes and redistribute them to me. That way they can learn about socialism.
Respectfully,
eric aka the Tygrrrr Express

I don’t anyone has ever met a hippie that didn’t try to sceeb your weed and steal your girlfriend.
Wonder if they are charging sales tax. Where’s the IRS when you need them?
Well, I’m wondering if they obtained a license too…

Sales tax is a local issue. The IRS has nothing to do with it. But I am wondering if the Colorado Department of Revenue is aware.
LGM - Once again we go down that slippery slope of relativism? How much is “undue exploitation”, and who says that whatever level you pick is the right level where it crosses the line from “acceptable” into exploitation vs. undue exploitation.
Surely LGM is not the final authority on what is or is not acceptable.
FWIW - cRus is not - and knows he’s not - THE authority on such.
BlameAmericaLast said (#40):
Republicans are responsible for “opening up China” from Nixon to Reagan Bush, Sr. to Bush, Jr.
Republicans are business friendly — whether it’s manufacturing in repressive countries, illegal immigration, giveaways to big oil, or stricter rules for credit card debt (I heard Rush ranting about this as though Democrats had done it, apparently not “remembering” that it was signature Bush, Jr. legislation).
“Opening up China”…yeah, OK. I don’t blame US manufacturers going to other countries because of the oppressive unions we have in this country that do nothing but try to screw the corporations.
Competition is fair play. Unfortunately, when it comes to unions, fair play means playing by THEIR rules.
If I can find it faster, cheaper and easier, then I’d go to another country too.

Bush is in the executive branch. Talk to Congress about legislation.
The idea on building good relations with China is
1) To reduce tensions. Remember, the success in Vietnam was due in large part to supplies from Russia and China
2) China, unlike other dying liberal countries, is on the rise and could be a world power, especially if we keep electing far leftists like Barack Obama.
Nixon knew this because he was, at that time, a good statesman. Reagan knew he could utilize China and dilute the Russian influence, and the Bushes? China has an emerging class, and like or not, LGM, trade and jobs give the government revenue for your big-government programs that find the GLBT causes.
As far as republicans having a great relationship with China, as you would have us believe, please explain why they would contribute to the Clintons?
Fair labor is important, LGM, but abolishing the secret ballot and rampant spending of union dues isn’t much better. Don’t forget about the environmental aspects either.
As far as stricter laws for credit card debt, the American people should have thought of that before racking up all those bills. That is NOT anyone’s fault but their own, and the government has to step in when the people aren’t responsible.
Besides, wasn’t it Biden who wanted to make it harder for customers to file bankruptcy protection?
Of course if somebody borrowed the money from YOU, you’d be perfectly ok with them not bothering to pay it back.
For once please, LGM - think about the consequences of what you spout. There are two parties to a credit card transaction - the lender (credit card company) and the borrower (the consumer). The two have a contractual relationship. When one of the two fails in their part of the contract, the other can and should have every means at their disposal to get the other party to perform.
I’d laugh if the Mint accidentally dropped back down onto their toes.
Get it off! Get it off!!!
See? He can relate to “regular” folks.
I forgot Obama wants to do away with the secret ballot; so we can go back to the days of violent union intimidation.
Of course the Libs think, “Gee man that can’t happen nowadays.”
Right, Bernie Schwartz and the Loral Corp .
Yeah, actually it was the Clintons who basically sold us to China.
I liked the picture of a similar group, that took MC/Visa. I think Zombie may have had it.
LGM
Then why do they say it sucks, but use the system anyway? Why don’t they sell all their possessions (like DVDs and movies) and give the money to the poor?
So, do you want to invade Columbia now, too? That seems to be the solution for promoting “tolerance.” Let’s see in the past year, liberals who oppose the Iraq War want to invade:
a) Sudan
b) Pakistan
c) Myanmar
d) Columbia???
I would just like to note that 2/4 are our allies for strategic reasons that certain liberals don’t seem to understand (it would be kind of hard for Barack Obama to go after bin-laden in land-locked Afghanistan without support from Pakistan) and, well, we help Columbia fight corruption to the extent that we can.
Of course, if we used the tax money given to Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, GLBT groups and, of course, big government programs for the “needy”, we could lessen the chances that their labor bosses would be shot.
Since the whole aim of your posts seem to blame republicans instead of trying to make a REAL difference, LGM, none of what I suggest will happen, as is custom in the two-party system.
