There was a good laborwave Veeky Forums thread going on here a few weeks ago.

Can someone posts fits that would fit the socialist, laborwave, communist narrative?

ITT: Leftist fashion, and socialism in general!

I want to get an army green bomber jacket, and use this as an armband

I would use it as a patch tbqhwu

i just wear pic related open with dark jeans and boots

Is this the new cringe thread?

>pristine jacket
>"laborwave"

>trad menswear
>labor
lenin is for real indulging in the superior quality tailoring of the bourgeoisie there, OP.

>socialists say that there wouldn't be a lack of creativity under socialism
>all their memes are expropriated from /pol/
really makes you think

Look for Soviet socialist realism art as an inspiration and focus on the themes that those pieces represent. First and foremost is the glorification of proletariat imagery, so the standard look should be clothes that a member of the working class would wear such as thick work shirts and pants that someone could actually do physical labour in. This means avoid very skinny jeans if you don't want to look like a suburban millennial tryhard playing dress-up as someone who works for a living. Which you probably are, but at least avoid looking like it.

Add elements of military apparel, such as a field jacket or boots. Don't go overboard with them. Your goal is a militarized worker, not a guard on the Berlin Wall. In many Soviet art pieces, even soldiers tend to have somewhat disheveled coats rather than spotless uniforms, which has more of a fascist aesthetic. Avoid heavy use of black unless you want to be confused for a Neo Nazi football hooligan.

In the OP image, Lenin is wearing a suit, but the coat he is wearing looks coarse and weathered, resembling a workman's coat. Likewise, Lenin is holding a newsboy cap that was a staple item of Russian laborers in that period. Rather than dressing like a worker, he brings in a few elements to display his political sympathies while still dressing like a member of the intelligentsia. This is a route you could take if you don't have the physical look to actually pull off full working class attire.

Don't look to what actual citizens in the Soviet Union wore for inspiration, as actual Soviet fashion often rebelled against the state imagery and adopted a look emulating Western youth culture. Like with everything else in the USSR, the state propaganda was pretty far from the reality. The exceptions to this are actual images of militarized laborers, such as the soviets and militias from the early stages of the Russian Revolution, and, ironically, anti-Soviet protesters as in pictures from the Hungarian Revolution.

>Rather than dressing like a worker, he brings in a few elements to display his political sympathies while still dressing like a member of the intelligentsia.
Just like a clueless douche would wear a fedora with his t-shirt/cargos/sneakers ouftit to display his superior intelligence and taste while still dressing like a member of the gamestop consumer base.

wow i think i hate socialism now

fuck

has contrarianism gone too far?

Or do I need to go even further and pretend to be something commies don't like?

>Corporatism/Capitalism
>Fascism
>Monarchist
Take your pick

contrarian monarchism is a good option

contrarian corporatism/capitalism and contrarian fascism are already what contrarian communists are posturing against.

alright then

VIVE LE ROY

Louis XX is pretty effay.

But how can you have fashion if everyone has to be equal? If everyone is wearing the same clothes can you call it fashion?

Contrarian monarchism has already been done.

Luxuries would still be produced in a socialist system.

Who determines the class for 'Luxuries/Branded and 'Peasant/Normal'?
>inb4 classes for fashion too!

I didn't see to many luxuries in any of the gommie systems. Also isn't the whole communist system diametrically opposed to art and individuation through something like fashion as it would stand to create inequality? I mean even if you let people choose their type of luxuries some peoples would run out before others and that in and of itself would create increasing amounts of inequality.

Wouldn't that just create a class of ultra-fit people that do more than everyone else and have more than everyone else? Especially when the government determines the pay for their work. All it would take is one person who finds a job with an unequal amount of time/work to pay and then abuses it to gain more labor credit and then trade it for resources and those resources for more labor credit Ad infinitum until the hierarchical class system is re-established?

Deleted my original post because I realized what you were asking after I posted it. The people who would determine luxury/if you had anyone determining it would depend on the system. People working to get a ton of labor vouchers/cash wouldn't be a problem because they put in the work to earn the vouchers. The goal isn't to make sure that everyone has an equal outcome. I don't know how non market socialists deal with black markets because I'm a market socialist.

Monarchist fashion when? Actually better yet, can I dress up like a roman emperor?

Who is the system? Can workers mark up their clothing by themselves to create artificial hype?

Filthy peasants must abide certain rules like no purple and crown.

The system being which socialist system is being implemented. In market systems you could create artificial hype.

Jokes on you dear property, I am the emperor and your rules are spooks. Purple time is now.

Who the fuck is exactly the Socialist system? Who set the rules?
>can I dress up like a roman emperor?
Why is an emperor asking a filthy peasant an opinion? You could go out naked for all I care

Can we trade the shirts for a loom to make shirts then dictate our own prices for the shirts we make on our own time?

I mean system in the sense of the specific ideological system. Stalinism is radically different than market socialism but both are socialist systems.
Yes, you just can't use the loom to extract surplus value from others labor.

So I can't get someone else to work my loom in return for shirts? But I can give them the loom and let them make two shirts in exchange for one of the shirts and my loom back when they are done then sell the shirt I got for lending my loom out?

So the Government dictates then. If a certain design shirt is popularized by the peasants but the cost to produce them is low cost, can the factory artificially upscale the price due to overwhelming demand?

>Leftist fashion

Every jacket is new and pristine at some point, it's up to you to actually use it so it will become worn out.
But I guess you never worked a day in your useless life, so you just buy pre-used clothes.

If iPhones were to be mass produced to ensure everyone owns it and reduced to affordable prices, would it still be considered a luxury item?

Maybe but you aren't bound to perfectly replicate it.
You can mix the utilitarian parts with traditional parts like the bandana in or the suit in OP.
Shawls are a great way to add uniqueness but you gotta wear them tied right, not flowing around you like a cape.

what a fucking manlet.

>tfw not a communist
>tfw try to be apolitical
>tfw love the stressed workwear look a lot of Soviet pre-war and post-war photos have
>tfw we can never have good threads about this or right wing imagery and aesthetics because unfashionable retards bring their personal political beliefs into the discussion and shit up the thread.

I hate all of you

>Fashion is expression of individuality and innovation, it's a way to show yourself off by being unique
>Gommunism is absolute equality and stagnation due to the lack of competition
>The two are compatible

Nazi wear is sexy. Those hugo boss uniforms are 10/10

...

Fucking ravaged him

you don't have to dress your preferred style to some politic agenda
stressed workwear is where plenty of contemporary avant garde artisanal brands strive these days
just make a thread without obvious political OP

There's nothing fashionable about being left or right wing. Stop playing dress up and pretending to be something you're not.

>tfw just grew out of the "communism works in theory" phase
Philosophically speaking communism is a garbage ideology. A society in without hierarchy is a doomed one, as much as it may hurt your feelings

I copped a Che Guevara T-shirt because I like his quotes on fags and niggers

Do I belong here now my proletariat brothers?

>hugo boss uniforms
Ignorant retard.

Why do Veeky Forums fascists and Veeky Forums communists think that this style belongs to them/represents them?
There's nothing political about a black sweater and slim trousers.

>On the street some black dude wears the gommie shirt
>Hey user i like your shirt brother! Are we going to take back the power from those greedy capitalist to the workers?
what do?

it makes me think "beret-wearing communist black guys in the 70s" personally

According to my post that wouldn't be uncomfortable at all

Seeing as I said I like the post about "we will give to them what they gave to the revolution"

*like the quote

autism

sanguinetti and debord

its based on the look intelectuals on both side of the political spectrum to wear on the 20s-30s, when both the soviet union and fascists countries started to rise. Most of these people were killed later on by their own goverment though

You realise the original fascists were also a reaction to something, right? Literally every political movement has been formed in reaction to something, this contrarianism meme needs to fucking die.

Socialist fashion is a contradiction in terms. There's isn't supposed to be fashion or luxury in a socialist society

>I don't understand anything about politics

Politics is not intellectually rigorous enough to bother studying

If you'd ever studied economics you would know why socialism doesn't work

so qt

I was criticizing how you think ideologes are parodies of themselves but you just pointed out you studied a field that's mostly gross generalisations so I rest my case.

Socialism is a bunk ideology that shouldn't be celebrated in any way

>ive been an economics student for 2 years and i think im so much smarter than people such as Russell, Marx and Hegel I can dismiss their ideas offhandedly

...

Their sweaters say "cold"

They were manufactured by hugo boss NOT DESIGNED you ignorant fuck. You reflect your political views

Seeing as Marx and Hegel didn't have a single good idea between them, it's pretty easy to dismiss them as thinkers. I'll take Hayek and Schopenhauer, thank you.

kek he fucking pissed himself

"laborwave"
you're just straight out copying /pol/s memes.

What is this? 9gag? iFunny? Facebook?

What kind of labor do you guys do anyway? I mean if you're American aren't you all wearing Uniforms of some sort?

Hell I would think the only laborers around here now wear those neon green and orange tops like contractors.

...

...

/pol/ has already co-opted that style. Do something original for once.

Greetings fellow litizen

just realized that too. What a fucking weird group of people.

where in philly is this?
