what sorts of political values are you questioning?

[arazel]

mostly just the part about the "unjustness" of kids working in sweatshops. yeah, it's low-paying shitty work, but is it any better than the alternative? I've read some things that suggest that pre-American-industry life in third-world countries was some sort of borderline utopia, but it still seems a little improbable 'cause it's happening, like, everywhere. besides I want a justification for buying cheap Target clothes.

I'm still a feminist anti-racist (etc.) Democrat but I'm starting to see that the "other side" has some valid points too.
