Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is selling merchandise on her campaign website featuring socialist slogans.

Want to tear down the upper class and build a community utopia? Just buy this T-shirt!
For $27, you can purchase a 100% cotton “Tax the Rich” shirt from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign website.
Same price will get you “Brawler for the Working Class” tank top. Or show off those abs you got from assaulting the NYPD in an AOC crop top.
She may be a socialist, but when it comes to amassing political power, AOC is pure capitalist.
Worried about looking like a hypocrite? Don’t fret — it’s all “union made.”
Worried about looking like a poseur? Can’t help you there.
“I don’t take money from lobbyists nor curry favor with billionaires so I can operate independently from revolving-door politics,’’ AOC says in a fundraising email, done up in fake cursive on fake Post-It notes.
Hers is a “grassroots” campaign. Though those roots are urged to give her up to $500.
My favorite: the “Abolish ICE Dad Hat” for $28.
What, nothing to cover the head of a “gestating parent”?
Models of various ages, races and genders show off the merch, but not body types. Everyone’s thin.
After all, the revolution is going to be televised — and podcasted, and Substacked, and Instagrammed — so you better look good.
AOC hopes to raise enough money to not only fund her re-election hopes, but get socialists in office around the country. Once that happens, the real fun begins. No more shaking the cup for $5, it’s millions and billions of tax dollars at their disposal.
Mayor Mamdani is spending $50 million alone on “outreach” — read: a far-left propaganda office.
Young supporters may not think too deeply when they don a performative “Tax the Rich” shirt.
But rest assured: You’re paying for it now, but you’ll really pay for it later.
