A sweatshirt for $58 is being hypocriticalThe point of the comic is: AOC participates in the capitalist system because that’s what we have in America. That doesn’t mean she can’t argue for its removal. That’s why I posted the comic, because it’s easy to say, oh hey, you’re using what you say we should get rid of, isn’t that hypocritical? If all we have is that system though, of course you’re gonna use it, whether you like it or not.
I will say that there’s a discussion to be had about how socialists go about using capitalism — I.E. how much they charge for products — but in and of itself, AOC selling a t-shirt is not being hypocritical, at least in my view.
