...it´s just not a way of life...........

Geez, Ivan, change the "Capitalism" to "Stalin" and it might resonate.

smash capitalism I love it.

Ruby, what's the point of promoting anti-Stalinism, Stalin is dead. Capitalism on the other hand is alive an viscious as ever.

capitalism directly kills more every year than stalin did in a lifetime.

the design's not bad, but what's with the capitalism bashing? capitalism is not the problem - go do some reading. this shit is way too cliche...

where is the zoom.. i'd like to see the lines

If all of you want to protest capitalism, then dont buy anything. :/

Which would be ironic if this shirt won and everyone wanted to buy it.

Anyway, graphically it's okay. It seems a little too messy. i'd recommend possibly simplifying it a little bit so that the textures still show but it isn't as grungy cos that tends to look really bad on a T. The image itself also looks to be too boxed in.

Maybe try something that directly represents your dislike of capitalism, not necessarily just a skull. I mean, you could write 'pirate' instead of capitalism, and the image would fit it just as much. It has potential, but i'd work on it.

I agree with Britannica about the design, it does look a bit boxed in, and would be more clear if it showed something obviously pertaining to oppression, consumerism, war, evironmental desctruction, etc. rather than a vague skull. Not to say the skull says nothing, but the average uneducated t+shirt admirer probably won't get the link between capitalism and murder.

ixley, when you say "capitalism is not the problem - go do some reading" what books are you refering to? Perhaps you could explain why a system a government that allows 1% of the world to controll 90% of the wealth, allows large corporations to pay slave wages to it's workers while CEO's get million dollar bonuses, a system that ignores human suffering and environmental unsustainablity in favor of small gains in profit "is not the problem". I think perhaps you could do some reading yourself. At the risk of sounding arrogant, here are some very well spoken authors you might find interesting:
Noam Chomsky
Naomi Klein http://www.nologo.org
Mark Davis http://www.renewal.org.au/markdavis/
Mike Moore http://www.michaelmoore.com/
John Ralston Saul

crappy subject.

Hm, well the designer was "Ivan"..... Anyhow it looks like I better head to the library and.... No wait, the internet, and get my facts straight.

shirt is dope. don't change it!

nice illo...just capitalism alone is kind of vague. the shirt seems kinda contradictory on a site geared to SELLING shirts for PROFIT. i'm not going to make a long speech on politics, but i think it's certain parts of capitalism that are contributing to social unbalance, but conscious capitalism is about all we can hope for because anarchy sure won't solve anything.

again, though, good work.

Thanx for your comments all. As you might have noticed Threadless has a special 1000 dollar thing going on these days and the number of submissions has encreased; therefor my capitalism-tee. Which, by the way, is submitted before the 15. and just to make a real saint of myself ,I´m not submitting new tees until after the 1. ; )

It is true that a skull don´t represent capitalism for some people, but the figure of death is the ulitimate result for all of us and linking capitalism with the ultimate, makes quite and impact. Some of you(our british viwers especially)might recognize the tophat and monocel of John Bull, the english alter ego, as Ucle Sam for the US. And a lot of you might get p*ssed of when hearing that the original illo is made by A. Paul Weber in 1942 and that he was an english nazisympasist. I have found a leaflet of his and is troubled myself by this fact.

Anyway, capitalism is wrong, not in it self, but what it has been made into. Living in a liberalistic-governt country I see how capitalism or the market is the only factor to which we most all obey. The goal of the market is only one thing; profit and that´s hard to get withou exploitation of other people or countries. As humans we have many other values: love, peace, happines, but you cannot put a pricetack on those. So we are being told that what really matters, is what we can measure (science) and buy (capitalism).

I hope you all enjoy you´re life so much that it becomes clear to you that wheater you buy a little or a lot; true life comes with no price at all.
