If you are an open-minded progressive who wishes to dress up as a teenage boy and wear a pair of jeans, you have a problem. By buying jeans you're inevitably supporting a bunch of capitalist pigs controlling a corporate fascist oppression machine and/or wealthy designer who probably doesn't need your money anyway. Even China's numerous factories have gone all capitalist in recent decades. What's a progressive to do?
Some right-thinking people found a solution to your problem, fortunately, by marketing expensive designer jeans manufactured in a non-capitalist country with a truly progressive government. They're so authentic they're actually manufactured by a mining company. You can only buy them in Stockholm now, but hopefully this is only the beginning. You need some North Korean T-shirts too, don't you?
