About This Design

Serve the People T-Shirt

Serve the People T-Shirt

Support the international struggle by wearing this item which depicts in classical stylised form the aspirations of a multi-ethnic, international movement. Stating "为人民服务" or "Serve the People" in Mao Zedong-penned Mandarin Chinese calligraphy, current slogan of the People's Liberation Army and once the watchword of students and activists during the Communist revolutionary days following the establishment of the People's Republic of China up through the Cultural Revolution. The slogan was also used by visionaries within the Asian American, Black liberation, and Maoist-orientated milieu of the international revolutionary socialist movement. The front features the staple of any self-respecting Marxist's iconography, the Red Star, alongside the typical sunflowers of the Mao era and unfurling red flags depicted in half-tone red. This is a unique juxtaposition of symbols which won't be found elsewhere. The symbolism is low-key enough to not be red-baited out of one's school, work, or favourite bar if one is wearing an open jacket covering the translation and depiction of armed struggle on the back of the shirt, where a discerning eye will notice a PLA soldier, an African warrior, a traditionally-dressed Arab fighter, two female Asian guerrillas (possibly Vietnamese and Korean judging by dress), and quite possibly an Albanian follower of the Maoist line of Enver Hoxha (note the prominent moustache). Don't miss out on this unique item which will be sure to turn heads and raise the "red flag" just at the moment that radical left thought is facing an upturn, coinciding with the rise of the Guo (city or domain) that Mao and the founders within the early Chinese Communist Party built.

Great T-Shirt, looks cool, good thickness and fits well. Slightly lighter than expected, not pitch black, more of a faded black, but still looks good.
