I wholeheartedly agree and I am completely against the idea. If they're counterculture rebels and become amish because they hate how society runs, then they're pretty conceded[/quote]

Neat, I wasn't aware of this. I'm all for fair trade, and it's projects as such that co-operates with the so-called "SYSTEM" as well as contributes to redefining it.
Out of curiosity, why would they want to use the primitive basis of society if they want to jam it? Dennis Lyxzen says "We use the means of capitalism to destroy it". But this shoe campaign seems to be about redefining it to make it better. Is this part of their overall revolutionary strategy?
