Comrade Workwear, founded by James Harr, has announced a set of “most wanted CEOs” playing cards, featuring names, photos, and scathing critiques of top executives across industries. Days after the shocking fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, a socialist fashion brand has ignited fresh controversy with a provocative new product. Comrade Workwear , founded by James Harr, has announced a set of “most wanted CEOs” playing cards, featuring names, photos, and scathing critiques of top executives across industries.
Harr’s move taps into a growing anti-corporate sentiment in the US, amplified by the rise of Luigi Mangione , Thompson’s alleged killer, who has been both vilified and celebrated online for his purported “anti-corporatist” motivations. The card deck, Harr explained on social media, aims to expose the executives profiting from what he described as the “daily violence” inflicted on the working class by corporate decision-making. A political statement on a deck of cards Inspired by the infamous “most-wanted Iraqi” playing cards distributed during the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, Harr’s deck divides CEOs into four suits, each representing a specific sector.
Clubs include pharmaceutical executives , Hearts target leaders in real estate and retail, Diamonds highlight tech, finance, and media moguls, while Spades call out figures in oil and defense industries. In an eyebrow-raising twist, each card features a QR cod.
