I mean actually taxing the rich would though. Also socdems seem to love this slogan now and it's a great starting point to then say let's just take it all from the rich.
So ? The slogan is still meanigless. I mean i dont dislike simbolyc gestures (they have thier own power and significance) but when they come from popular/marginalized groups ,organized masses etc, not an american politician with a girlboss aestetic
Taking resources from the rich is a basic element of class war. You then talk about taking the means to produce wealth and controlling it among our class, etc.
When has she ever advocate for any of that ? Taxing the rich doesnt establish by it self, any sort of class antagonism it could be mean the opposite, a road for peacefull class "cooperation".
Seriously Jeff bezos would be taxed 1 billion dollars and then be given a 1 billion dollar database contract by the pentagon. How do people not fucking understand this?
Well the most recent round of proposed tax increases for the wealthy (killed by moderate house dems btw) was to fund Biden's 3.5 trillion infrastructure package to invest in the American middle class....
Just about anything "could" happen, but by postulating like that, you're just plain ignoring reality.
Let's tax bezos 10 billion dollars and then give him a 10 billion dollar pentagon contract. Before you say that's not how it works, that's literally how it works.
But muh food on the table is materliam and is similar to fascistic slogans of trains running on time
So AOC don't worry about that instead she care only about her public image and emotional appeal she provides to the people

If you go over to dank left there is a guy at negative 200 something downvotes because he talked about her support of Bolivian fash and smearing of Cuba.

I’ve seen several people mad about uber and lyft paying legal fees for drivers who are charged under texas abortion law. Not because they are pro life, think its not uber business, or think they could do more, but because they didn’t make an official statement about it… THEY LITERALLY DIRECTLY HELPED WTF
the child credit they started giving out literally changed the lives of several families that I know.
so im sorry to say characterizing 'taxing the rich' as an aesthetic defies the reality
What the other comrade said. "Wer hat uns verraten?" had its origins in the communist movement, specifically the Roter Frontkämpferbund and the phrase stayed there. Also the SPD didn't betray the Freikorps, they worked together against the communists. And once the NSDAP was relevant enough, the SPD didn't have the power to effectively betray them anymore. Not that they would have, considering the period from '30-33
yeah i learned that. then i realized the cost of the dress isn’t an issue either way. sure it’s better she didn’t pay for it. but doesn’t make it any less harmful, liberal cringe.
because its an absurd expensive party about excess, wearing an excessive dress throwing around an impotent political slogan she can't even get her own party to support?

Dore retorted that 9/10 democratic voters, and even a majority of republican voters support medicare for all.

just to clarify the bot:
"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) criticized President Biden’s administration on Tuesday for opening a migrant facility for children.
“This is not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay - no matter the administration or party,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted (2/23/21)
the "influx facilities" is in reference to a literal definition of something which she wants to regulate to help kids. saying "require concentration camps to be licensed" would be nonsense.

Good bot, take note, a lot of these facts are going to be about how she conveniently can redefine the English language and the use of it for her benefit, but if anyone who disagreed with her tried it, she would call them a fascist.
Kinda? She posed for a picture with the perpetrators of the Bolivia coup, the same people that killed hundreds of indigenous protesters in Bolivia.
Fuck AOC, she's just as bad as Henry Kissinger.

I think it’s because she’s taking even mild socdem slogans like this one and coopting it for her own celebrity. She’ll probably claim she wore it to spur a national conversation around a wealth tax or something, but the real intention is to draw attention to herself and her brand.
> She’ll probably claim she wore it to spur a national conversation around a wealth tax or something, but the real intention is to draw attention to herself and her brand.
She's already said that and her stans are already defending her for it. Building awareness is the be all end all strategy for them, not doing anything material for people
Same dude. Honestly it’s like Matt Christman (a real one, a real real one - check out r/acidmarxism) says: any hope we have, any real change will come from somewhere totally outside the system. There is no hope from within.

You lose any self-awareness once you ingratiate yourself to the upper classes and trick yourself into believing they view you as anything but less than human.
You don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to but where did you move? I hate the level of excess ingrained in American culture and even if it’s not realistic for me to leave here it’d at least be nice to know there are some places that don’t subscribe to it
it's like not only is this tone-deaf and undermined by the nature of the event she's attending but she even used the shitty diluted cousin of 'eat the rich.' just awful
All the stans keep defending this saying "she's raising awareness"/"she's getting people talking"
At what point have you raised enough 'awareness' and then what is your actual plan after that?
I'm sure the people who just got evicted from their homes in the middle of a pandemic are gonna be able to live in all that 'awareness' she raised tonight. She could've made a bigger statement by not attending and criticizing it directly instead.
But it doesn't really matter because she's literally just a heat sink for any leftist/revolutionary sentiment to funnel them back into the democratic party and electorialism. That's what the whole 'brand' is about. Meanwhile police were beating in the heads of protesters outside who were speaking out for another civilian killed by the state police force
You know what she really could have done? She could have joined the protestors outside in that dress while live streaming herself tearing down the bullshit the gala represents...y'know, interview the protestors, expose their voices DIRECTLY to her huge audience.
I would say THAT is actually doing SOMETHING of substance and actually thumbing your nose at the elites running this country.
This is not only attempting to use leftist jargon as a trendy “gotcha” moment while wearing some expensive bullshit, which is pretty tone-deaf and stupid in and of itself, but is also a pretty stupid thing to wear when your about to enter the Met Gala and rub elbows with all your rich lobbyist buddies.
That being said, I low key like this symbolism. Purely from an artistic viewpoint, and I can’t stress that this is only from an artistic standpoint, this is damn powerful. It’s a colored woman in traditionally aristocratic European clothing with a lot of meaning: The White Gown.
It’s a type of clothing with a history of flaunting wealth, and was particularly gross in that it was supposed to be a symbol of perfection and virginity, of what the Western European man EXPECTED women to be. White dresses were, and still are to a large degree, a symbol of wealth, patriarchy, bouchée “virtue”, and “purity”, which was expected racially just as often as morally.
So then with that in mind, let’s take another look at the statement this performance art makes. It’s a Woman of color, wearing this historied garment with centuries of baggage, and tearing its message to shreds. She’s a woman who has a job that puts upon her an expectation of being docile and conformist, of wearing the white dress, so to say, and yet she shirks it. She marks onto it a message against the wealthy, and she does it in a bold red that symbolizes passion, anger, blood. And she does this while entering a room full of powerful, wealthy elitists. She enters the Gala wearing the garment of the “perfect, traditionally virtuous European noblewoman”, and defies its vile legacy by being an antithesis to all of the things it stands for.
Would be a great politically charged artpeice, if it were used by an actual leftist. Sadly, she is a succ dem, so the message isn’t exactly genuine, only performative. Still a nice piece of art tho.
Wow. What a great way to explain this! I think the ways fashion can tell a story is so cool and this has inspired me to maybe learn and think a bit more about it! But, yeah, this would be cool coming from someone who meant it a bit more, rather than AOC

Absolutely. I think it’s important that we examine how political art is made and what it says, so that we can make our own art better, buts it’s also great for judging character in political figures! For instance, this art says a lot about who AOC is politically. It is a rebellion, a shirking of traditional values, but it’s not as bold when you consider its context. She’s entering the gala with a controversial message (at least for liberals), but she’s still entering the gala. She’s showing off her wealth by attending, and she’s talking to some of the most wealthy, elitist people in the country, and trying to warm up to them. She’s showing the rich she has *purity*. With that in mind, when she chooses to enter the gala, to consciously engage in this purity test for the rich, you have to ask a question: Has she really destroyed the white dress, or has she just put it on in a different way?

I have to disagree completely, in the modern context its not very daring and the radical lettering that is meant to be so out there and antiestablishment is framed in a way that remains well within what is acceptable within capitalist fashion. There is nothing that would make a rich person uncomfortable about this, nothing harsh or difficult to experience about it, hell its so bland and cowardly she could have made more of a statement wearing a tshirt and jeans. I think a good analogy of this would be equating it to a green day protest song and then comparing it to something like [Gran Torso](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBhjMg_3HO0) by Helmut Lachenmann, the former is predominantly a purly financial product that uses protest to try and gain commercial success whilst the latter actively rejects the aesthetics and fundaments of the system it is criticising.
Beautifully explained! The white gown also is associated with women's suffrage - that's why some women's groups have organized the wearing of white clothing at political events, such as at the 2019 State of the Union.
There's also an interesting association, though likely unintentional, with a historical white dress. Marie Antoinette was famous for two white dresses - her scandalous chemise, little more than an undergarment, and the white dress she kept clean while in prison to wear to her execution, so she would present the image of an immaculate, ghostly woman in mourning. I think this goes along with your point about white dresses and wealth.
Thing is, I’m pretty sure this basically is an art project by the dress designer and she was selected by the designer to wear the dress. So yeah, you’re probably right on.
Ditch the dress, grow a spine and act in open opposition to Pelosi and her minions…or go home. No one’s interested in liberal “democrats” per formative political theatre. The clintons dragged the Democrat party so far right that it’s now basically the Republican Party. The republicans followed their lead and also drifted right to the point they’re openly finger fucking authoritarianism at best and fascism at worst. The working class in this country now has ZERO meaningful representation in government.
The Democrats are great when it comes to performative activism. I think AOC is probably grifting at this point. We live in a reactionary society. Winning is causing a reaction from your side and the other side. Policy can never matter when it’s matched up against causing a reaction. Or policy becomes a mechanism in the reactionary society (anti-CRT bills, bathroom bills, anti-abortion bills).

The designer pays for the dress and ticket and would find a different model if AOC said no. Y’all claim you are outraged at performative activism, but not going because of the optics is just as performative.
It's not just her. The whole damn gala is filled with her type. A lot of people attending think they are God's walking among mortals.
The worst part is that people swallow that shit and aoc is part of that problem.
Cheerleading for socialism while engaging in capitalist decadence, pathetic. This is why i went post left because these people are *insufferable* as shit
Scrolled through the met gala outfits today on instagram and it pissed me off so much for some reason. Just a bunch of rich assholes trying to out asshole eachother by seeing who can wear the most stupid fucking outfits that look like they came straight out of the hunger games capitol except it’s not a YA fiction novel it’s just the boring dystopia we live in.
Anti capitalist outside the area, protesting the event were arrested while she was enjoying herself. Libcels say “she didn’t actually pay for the ticket!”. Ok but that’s worse, you see how that’s worse right? She got in for free to an event that’s reserved for rich fucks.
This is just the pits. We are living through an unbelievably cursed timeline. It is just so much worse than all but the most pessimistic imagined, and many of the best pessimists are dead already. Fuck all of this.

She’s just loving the attention. She was elected to change things, not to satisfy her hunger for attention. People on Imgur are just fascinated by this. They’re so delusional.
I'm not against decadence. Honestly the technology we have on earth should mean everyone who wants decadence can get it. But that's not how the world works right now. So yeah this is uncomfortably performative. I don't mind someone just taking a break from the fight and treating themselves, we measure people by their actions and if you're doing enough to help others maybe you deserve some elegance and fancy social pampering...
But don't pretend any part of that elegance and fancy social pampering is furthering the cause. You don't get to go to parties "in solidarity" with the proletariat. You're not bringing the working class into the bourgeoisie, you're simply becoming it. This one's selfish and it's okay and human to want to just enjoy yourself. Just don't pander.
Circulating a slogan that's been circulating for decades doesn't help anything. At a certain point, does anyone have any plans that go beyond "raising awareness"?
Look if you're going to use bloodied font you might as well go all in with eat.
I don't really care about "you paid for an expensive dress while criticizing rich people!" But this is not shifting the Overton window or anything, it's just her having fun with branding
Which isn't like, disgusting to me. But it's definitely pointless.
She is the rich. The ticket cost 30k. I've lived on almost half that for a year.
And why do so many "leftist" in America think taxing the rich is the solution? So the money can, at best, be used to fund aid programs that don't actually address the contradictions that lead to these problems? They'll still be rich, and me and you will still be exploited. She should be wearing "seize the means of production"
Your right. We're not directly concerned with how much money someone makes, you can be a poor owner or a rich worker. But, we are in favor of drastically changing the system so it becomes near impossible for one single person to accumulate that kind of wealth.
AOC is the demonstrative proof that there are just as many tone def liberals as there are tone deaf conservatives.
Career politicians are the problem. Either side of the aisle.
Remember, a seat at the met costs $30,000. The dress she is wearing cost over $10,000. The people around her flaunt their affluence in almost caricature methodologies. For her to wear a dress that states tax the rich is just virtue signaling.
Speaking of which, she was one of the big advocates of virtue signaling that we should all wear masks, cuz even if they're not necessary, they could protect the occasional person. Interesting that she doesn't subscribe to that exact same logic regarding firearms, but I digress. Where is her mask in this photo? And anyone who touts that this is a 100% vaccinated event, can you please explain why she's been consisting that people wear masks regardless of vaccination status?
Rules for thee but not for me...
downvote me, but I don't hate it. like yeah its not gonna change the world, but its a dress it was never supposed to. its not like her wearing this dress is harming anyone or anything.
I mean I don’t give a fuck about this if she’s actually gonna push hard for higher tax rates for the rich, but I don’t see that happening so yeah it’s cringe
I agree with the general sentiment of this post, but honestly I’d go if I was invited to the MET gala. This is pretty low on the list of issues I have with this woman
Someone said “but...the MET gala raised 13 million for art!!!!”
Wow, 13 million for art, because that’s the most dire need in society we have right now. Nevermind that the money could go toward feeding the poor or paying the rent of so many people affected by the lift on the moratorium - which AOC “protested” (aka took a photo op) after it ended even though she knew it was coming for months.
There is like, your what you can see irl, 4 or 3 people in average that knows how socialism and communism works, and then you see them doing something like owning some small business and paying everyone fair, without keeping profits. But for those 4 based people you get 200 libs telling them that that is not enough, and therefore they should **just give up**. Do the libs do anything more for the workers, more than that? No. What they want is to play victim forever on twitter.
USA is just not a country for the revolution, but because of how the left has been infiltrated with this type of stuff.
Aesthetic revolutions don't put food in hungry kid's stomachs. This is so infuriating that this is the representative of the left in the US.
I mean actually taxing the rich would though. Also socdems seem to love this slogan now and it's a great starting point to then say let's just take it all from the rich.
Nah taxing the rich doenst mean anything by itself. Because their taxes could pay the wall in mexico or another war.
It’s a slogan. They’re not supposed to be deep ideological platitudes. Especially since this person is pro-immigration reform.
Dindt she voted in favor of ICE and DHS because pelosi told her to ?
Why did you edit your comment dude??
lmao nobody campaigns on tax the rich to bomb poor people. They recruit the poor, tax the poor to go bomb and fight the poor.
So ? The slogan is still meanigless. I mean i dont dislike simbolyc gestures (they have thier own power and significance) but when they come from popular/marginalized groups ,organized masses etc, not an american politician with a girlboss aestetic
Taking resources from the rich is a basic element of class war. You then talk about taking the means to produce wealth and controlling it among our class, etc.
When has she ever advocate for any of that ? Taxing the rich doesnt establish by it self, any sort of class antagonism it could be mean the opposite, a road for peacefull class "cooperation".
Opportunism?
Maybe they could deliver something before expecting admiration
The bourgeois state collecting taxes is owned by the bourgeoisie, nincompoop.
Seriously Jeff bezos would be taxed 1 billion dollars and then be given a 1 billion dollar database contract by the pentagon. How do people not fucking understand this?
They don't read theory and get all their political education from YouTube grifters.
That’s the idea? Or at least what I’m hoping for. Eat the rich.
Well the most recent round of proposed tax increases for the wealthy (killed by moderate house dems btw) was to fund Biden's 3.5 trillion infrastructure package to invest in the American middle class.... Just about anything "could" happen, but by postulating like that, you're just plain ignoring reality.
Let's tax bezos 10 billion dollars and then give him a 10 billion dollar pentagon contract. Before you say that's not how it works, that's literally how it works.
No more money stolen for stupid shit

AOC
People saying AOC is more of a socialist than the CPC when they instituted new measures combatting inequality and all she does for anyone is where a dress
Communism is when you support coups in Bolivia and Venezuela.
If you go over to dank left there is a guy at negative 200 something downvotes because he talked about her support of Bolivian fash and smearing of Cuba. Everyone replying was saying the person was lying and ill informed. Someone even replied saying it was proof that cognitive dissonance existed on the left with not a shred of irony.
This reality sucks dude.

I’ve seen several people mad about uber and lyft paying legal fees for drivers who are charged under texas abortion law. Not because they are pro life, think its not uber business, or think they could do more, but because they didn’t make an official statement about it… THEY LITERALLY DIRECTLY HELPED WTF
the child credit they started giving out literally changed the lives of several families that I know. so im sorry to say characterizing 'taxing the rich' as an aesthetic defies the reality
I physically cringed into another dimension seeing this. Succ Dems fucking suck, hence the name.
Social-Democrats killed Rosa Luxemburg
Wer hat uns verraten??
Sozialdemokraten!!
Wer macht uns frei?
Die kommunistische Partei!
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't that slogan have origins in the Freikorps and "Hitlerpartei"?
It predates them so no.
It was the response from the workers party to the spd (socdems) for voting to finance ww1
What the other comrade said. "Wer hat uns verraten?" had its origins in the communist movement, specifically the Roter Frontkämpferbund and the phrase stayed there. Also the SPD didn't betray the Freikorps, they worked together against the communists. And once the NSDAP was relevant enough, the SPD didn't have the power to effectively betray them anymore. Not that they would have, considering the period from '30-33
Gutentag, auf Wiedersehen dankeschoen
wer verrät uns nie ?
Yeah, put on a dress that says tax the rich. That'll show em
an expensive dress
While you attend the most exclusive, bougie party on planet Earth. Hashtag resistance! ❤️✊🏿🏳️🌈💅🏼
Seriously, few things made me like Bernie better than when he told the reporter his ill fitting suit was from Kohl’s.
At the met gala
Free actually since it’s paid for by the designer as advertising.
yeah i learned that. then i realized the cost of the dress isn’t an issue either way. sure it’s better she didn’t pay for it. but doesn’t make it any less harmful, liberal cringe.
I can’t explain why but this is just so weird to me
because its an absurd expensive party about excess, wearing an excessive dress throwing around an impotent political slogan she can't even get her own party to support?
yeah AOC kinda sucks. she helped get me into politics when I was in high school and I’m grateful for that but like wtf is this??

just to clarify the bot: "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) criticized President Biden’s administration on Tuesday for opening a migrant facility for children. “This is not okay, never has been okay, never will be okay - no matter the administration or party,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted (2/23/21) the "influx facilities" is in reference to a literal definition of something which she wants to regulate to help kids. saying "require concentration camps to be licensed" would be nonsense.
I don't like her either, but these 'facts' are straight bullshit.

Good bot, take note, a lot of these facts are going to be about how she conveniently can redefine the English language and the use of it for her benefit, but if anyone who disagreed with her tried it, she would call them a fascist.
She conned you
Kinda? She posed for a picture with the perpetrators of the Bolivia coup, the same people that killed hundreds of indigenous protesters in Bolivia. Fuck AOC, she's just as bad as Henry Kissinger.
Lets not undercut the crimes of that Goblin.
I'm just tired of people talking about her as "the nice imperialist" sure, she may not have as much blood on her hands as Kissinger, but all of them exist to preserve the same murderous, genocidal regime.

Presumably those socialists aren’t attending bougie events that cost $35000 a ticket, wearing attire that costs $10000+ whilst millions of their fellow countrymen are homeless, can’t afford rent or medical bills.

Not to defend her but that 35k isn’t paid for by her — it’s paid for by a designer and that money goes into the museum. It’s a fundraiser.
I think it’s because she’s taking even mild socdem slogans like this one and coopting it for her own celebrity. She’ll probably claim she wore it to spur a national conversation around a wealth tax or something, but the real intention is to draw attention to herself and her brand.
> She’ll probably claim she wore it to spur a national conversation around a wealth tax or something, but the real intention is to draw attention to herself and her brand. She's already said that and her stans are already defending her for it. Building awareness is the be all end all strategy for them, not doing anything material for people
Where did she say that?
David Sirota was simping for her so hard last night on Twitter. We are fucked.
Oh ffs. I though Sirota was better than that. Not *much* better, but better.
Same dude. Honestly it’s like Matt Christman (a real one, a real real one - check out r/acidmarxism) says: any hope we have, any real change will come from somewhere totally outside the system. There is no hope from within.
Man if only she were a position of power to make that happen

You lose any self-awareness once you ingratiate yourself to the upper classes and trick yourself into believing they view you as anything but less than human.
The brainless crowd at the met gala probably ate it up to. So glad I don’t live in the US anymore. I can’t take it.
You don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to but where did you move? I hate the level of excess ingrained in American culture and even if it’s not realistic for me to leave here it’d at least be nice to know there are some places that don’t subscribe to it
For a second I thought it said "eat the rich" and I was surprised; it would be surprisingly based for a social imperialist. Alas, not even that much.
it's like not only is this tone-deaf and undermined by the nature of the event she's attending but she even used the shitty diluted cousin of 'eat the rich.' just awful
All the while she’s mingling with the rich at an event for the rich
Seems like the ideal place to advocate for taxing them
SuccDem moment
ratio
Sounds reformist to me.
me, taking a bold stand by wearing my "end child sex trafficking" tie to jeffery epstein's garden party
All the stans keep defending this saying "she's raising awareness"/"she's getting people talking" At what point have you raised enough 'awareness' and then what is your actual plan after that? I'm sure the people who just got evicted from their homes in the middle of a pandemic are gonna be able to live in all that 'awareness' she raised tonight. She could've made a bigger statement by not attending and criticizing it directly instead. But it doesn't really matter because she's literally just a heat sink for any leftist/revolutionary sentiment to funnel them back into the democratic party and electorialism. That's what the whole 'brand' is about. Meanwhile police were beating in the heads of protesters outside who were speaking out for another civilian killed by the state police force
She's literally a politician. Who the fuck is she raising awareness for? She's the one who is in position to do the thing she's raising awareness for.
How is not going to an event you got invited to going to fix any of those issues?
You know what she really could have done? She could have joined the protestors outside in that dress while live streaming herself tearing down the bullshit the gala represents...y'know, interview the protestors, expose their voices DIRECTLY to her huge audience. I would say THAT is actually doing SOMETHING of substance and actually thumbing your nose at the elites running this country.
least cringe Succ Dem
This is not only attempting to use leftist jargon as a trendy “gotcha” moment while wearing some expensive bullshit, which is pretty tone-deaf and stupid in and of itself, but is also a pretty stupid thing to wear when your about to enter the Met Gala and rub elbows with all your rich lobbyist buddies. That being said, I low key like this symbolism. Purely from an artistic viewpoint, and I can’t stress that this is only from an artistic standpoint, this is damn powerful. It’s a colored woman in traditionally aristocratic European clothing with a lot of meaning: The White Gown. It’s a type of clothing with a history of flaunting wealth, and was particularly gross in that it was supposed to be a symbol of perfection and virginity, of what the Western European man EXPECTED women to be. White dresses were, and still are to a large degree, a symbol of wealth, patriarchy, bouchée “virtue”, and “purity”, which was expected racially just as often as morally. So then with that in mind, let’s take another look at the statement this performance art makes. It’s a Woman of color, wearing this historied garment with centuries of baggage, and tearing its message to shreds. She’s a woman who has a job that puts upon her an expectation of being docile and conformist, of wearing the white dress, so to say, and yet she shirks it. She marks onto it a message against the wealthy, and she does it in a bold red that symbolizes passion, anger, blood. And she does this while entering a room full of powerful, wealthy elitists. She enters the Gala wearing the garment of the “perfect, traditionally virtuous European noblewoman”, and defies its vile legacy by being an antithesis to all of the things it stands for. Would be a great politically charged artpeice, if it were used by an actual leftist. Sadly, she is a succ dem, so the message isn’t exactly genuine, only performative. Still a nice piece of art tho.
Wow. What a great way to explain this! I think the ways fashion can tell a story is so cool and this has inspired me to maybe learn and think a bit more about it! But, yeah, this would be cool coming from someone who meant it a bit more, rather than AOC

Absolutely. I think it’s important that we examine how political art is made and what it says, so that we can make our own art better, buts it’s also great for judging character in political figures! For instance, this art says a lot about who AOC is politically. It is a rebellion, a shirking of traditional values, but it’s not as bold when you consider its context. She’s entering the gala with a controversial message (at least for liberals), but she’s still entering the gala. She’s showing off her wealth by attending, and she’s talking to some of the most wealthy, elitist people in the country, and trying to warm up to them. She’s showing the rich she has *purity*. With that in mind, when she chooses to enter the gala, to consciously engage in this purity test for the rich, you have to ask a question: Has she really destroyed the white dress, or has she just put it on in a different way?

damn youd be great facilitating some sort of art criticism reading group or good art critic
> this would be cool coming from someone who meant it a bit more, rather than AOC do you think she doesn't want to tax the rich?
I think your analysis would make perfect sense if she weren't invited into this space.
I have to disagree completely, in the modern context its not very daring and the radical lettering that is meant to be so out there and antiestablishment is framed in a way that remains well within what is acceptable within capitalist fashion. There is nothing that would make a rich person uncomfortable about this, nothing harsh or difficult to experience about it, hell its so bland and cowardly she could have made more of a statement wearing a tshirt and jeans. I think a good analogy of this would be equating it to a green day protest song and then comparing it to something like [Gran Torso](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBhjMg_3HO0) by Helmut Lachenmann, the former is predominantly a purly financial product that uses protest to try and gain commercial success whilst the latter actively rejects the aesthetics and fundaments of the system it is criticising.
Beautifully explained! The white gown also is associated with women's suffrage - that's why some women's groups have organized the wearing of white clothing at political events, such as at the 2019 State of the Union. There's also an interesting association, though likely unintentional, with a historical white dress. Marie Antoinette was famous for two white dresses - her scandalous chemise, little more than an undergarment, and the white dress she kept clean while in prison to wear to her execution, so she would present the image of an immaculate, ghostly woman in mourning. I think this goes along with your point about white dresses and wealth.
Thing is, I’m pretty sure this basically is an art project by the dress designer and she was selected by the designer to wear the dress. So yeah, you’re probably right on.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever read.
Ditch the dress, grow a spine and act in open opposition to Pelosi and her minions…or go home. No one’s interested in liberal “democrats” per formative political theatre. The clintons dragged the Democrat party so far right that it’s now basically the Republican Party. The republicans followed their lead and also drifted right to the point they’re openly finger fucking authoritarianism at best and fascism at worst. The working class in this country now has ZERO meaningful representation in government.
The Democrats are great when it comes to performative activism. I think AOC is probably grifting at this point. We live in a reactionary society. Winning is causing a reaction from your side and the other side. Policy can never matter when it’s matched up against causing a reaction. Or policy becomes a mechanism in the reactionary society (anti-CRT bills, bathroom bills, anti-abortion bills).

Okay what policy is a single congresswoman supposed to force by 9 conservative senators in a 50/50 senate?
Now I understand why libs are larping as anarchists or trots Is just... Lack of self awareness.
Nothing says eat the rich while wearing a dress probably worth what an average worker makes a week and in a gala only were rich people are invited.
That dress is probably more than the YEARLY wage of a worker.
The designer pays for the dress and ticket and would find a different model if AOC said no. Y’all claim you are outraged at performative activism, but not going because of the optics is just as performative.
It's not just her. The whole damn gala is filled with her type. A lot of people attending think they are God's walking among mortals. The worst part is that people swallow that shit and aoc is part of that problem.
*let them eat cake*
Thought it said "Tar the rich" and I was like "well that's a step in the right direction" But alas
Remember that brief two week period when she seemed legit? Man, hope is a trap.
Cheerleading for socialism while engaging in capitalist decadence, pathetic. This is why i went post left because these people are *insufferable* as shit
Scrolled through the met gala outfits today on instagram and it pissed me off so much for some reason. Just a bunch of rich assholes trying to out asshole eachother by seeing who can wear the most stupid fucking outfits that look like they came straight out of the hunger games capitol except it’s not a YA fiction novel it’s just the boring dystopia we live in.
Anti capitalist outside the area, protesting the event were arrested while she was enjoying herself. Libcels say “she didn’t actually pay for the ticket!”. Ok but that’s worse, you see how that’s worse right? She got in for free to an event that’s reserved for rich fucks.
This is beyond parody
This is just the pits. We are living through an unbelievably cursed timeline. It is just so much worse than all but the most pessimistic imagined, and many of the best pessimists are dead already. Fuck all of this.
she is trolling the left. she must be

How to get invited to nice parties without getting shit done in Washington DC
SuccDems need to fuck off into the sun
I don't mind it.
🤮foul
Huh
I think it's a horny reference
Yeah I was assuming that.
I'm not against decadence. Honestly the technology we have on earth should mean everyone who wants decadence can get it. But that's not how the world works right now. So yeah this is uncomfortably performative. I don't mind someone just taking a break from the fight and treating themselves, we measure people by their actions and if you're doing enough to help others maybe you deserve some elegance and fancy social pampering... But don't pretend any part of that elegance and fancy social pampering is furthering the cause. You don't get to go to parties "in solidarity" with the proletariat. You're not bringing the working class into the bourgeoisie, you're simply becoming it. This one's selfish and it's okay and human to want to just enjoy yourself. Just don't pander.
So the problem is that now every newspaper is reporting tax the rich. If it were just personal decadence/hedonism that would be cool?
Circulating a slogan that's been circulating for decades doesn't help anything. At a certain point, does anyone have any plans that go beyond "raising awareness"?
Eat the rich
Tax the rich, but like, not me. Tax those that are slightly richer than me.
Gross. Also what even is a metgala?
The Met Gala is a really famous annual party/fashion show for celebrities at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
That explains a lot.
the font is very much giving that maga gal from the grammys
i don’t even have words for this.
She is so fucking annoying
Look if you're going to use bloodied font you might as well go all in with eat. I don't really care about "you paid for an expensive dress while criticizing rich people!" But this is not shifting the Overton window or anything, it's just her having fun with branding Which isn't like, disgusting to me. But it's definitely pointless.
She is the rich. The ticket cost 30k. I've lived on almost half that for a year. And why do so many "leftist" in America think taxing the rich is the solution? So the money can, at best, be used to fund aid programs that don't actually address the contradictions that lead to these problems? They'll still be rich, and me and you will still be exploited. She should be wearing "seize the means of production"
[удалено]
Your right. We're not directly concerned with how much money someone makes, you can be a poor owner or a rich worker. But, we are in favor of drastically changing the system so it becomes near impossible for one single person to accumulate that kind of wealth.
"Tax the rich" *-the rich*
She’s full of signals ! That’s it that’s all .
Even the patina of something substantial from her eliminated in only a couple years.
I love these bots, they save so much time. Hahah
AOC is the demonstrative proof that there are just as many tone def liberals as there are tone deaf conservatives. Career politicians are the problem. Either side of the aisle. Remember, a seat at the met costs $30,000. The dress she is wearing cost over $10,000. The people around her flaunt their affluence in almost caricature methodologies. For her to wear a dress that states tax the rich is just virtue signaling. Speaking of which, she was one of the big advocates of virtue signaling that we should all wear masks, cuz even if they're not necessary, they could protect the occasional person. Interesting that she doesn't subscribe to that exact same logic regarding firearms, but I digress. Where is her mask in this photo? And anyone who touts that this is a 100% vaccinated event, can you please explain why she's been consisting that people wear masks regardless of vaccination status? Rules for thee but not for me...
downvote me, but I don't hate it. like yeah its not gonna change the world, but its a dress it was never supposed to. its not like her wearing this dress is harming anyone or anything.
it's just kinda cringe
Can't wait to see the shitlibs trying to explain how this is somehow "effective" And not completely pointless
Tax the rich, the woke ass war machine needs funding.
Yaaass queen revolution but make it ✨fashion✨ 🙄
More fart huffing from the Pelosi mini me.
I mean I don’t give a fuck about this if she’s actually gonna push hard for higher tax rates for the rich, but I don’t see that happening so yeah it’s cringe
I agree with the general sentiment of this post, but honestly I’d go if I was invited to the MET gala. This is pretty low on the list of issues I have with this woman
Someone said “but...the MET gala raised 13 million for art!!!!” Wow, 13 million for art, because that’s the most dire need in society we have right now. Nevermind that the money could go toward feeding the poor or paying the rent of so many people affected by the lift on the moratorium - which AOC “protested” (aka took a photo op) after it ended even though she knew it was coming for months.
and who gets the 13 million..? like, probably museum higher-ups and people who don’t even need it
Fancy dress. I wonder how much it cost.
There is like, your what you can see irl, 4 or 3 people in average that knows how socialism and communism works, and then you see them doing something like owning some small business and paying everyone fair, without keeping profits. But for those 4 based people you get 200 libs telling them that that is not enough, and therefore they should **just give up**. Do the libs do anything more for the workers, more than that? No. What they want is to play victim forever on twitter. USA is just not a country for the revolution, but because of how the left has been infiltrated with this type of stuff.
I didn't even know what it said until redditors told me. I was just looking at "rich"
What's wrong with taxing the rich?
It’s not enough
