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.

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.
