This design fuses the modern Chinese slang "打工人" (Dagong Ren: "Worker" or "The Everyday Employee") with the iconic phrase "The Capitalist Tool"—a nod to the classic slogan from Forbes Magazine, coined by publisher Malcolm Forbes.
Design Inspiration:
"The Capitalist Tool" is a bold and satirical statement originally used to describe Forbes' role in serving the capitalist elite. By pairing it with “打工人,” a term representing today’s hardworking employees who laugh through life’s struggles, this design reflects the self-deprecating humor and ironic truth of being a cog in the capitalist machine.
The Message:
It’s an honest, tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment of the workplace grind. Whether you're working for your dreams or just paying the bills, this tee speaks to those who see the game for what it is but choose to play it anyway—with wit and style.
Design Highlights:
Minimalist black-and-white typography makes a bold statement. The fusion of Chinese and English creates a global cultural crossover, delivering both humor and critique that resonate universally.
