The Chinese Commie propaganda posters on T-shirts is a great idea, actually. It ties in with the whole Mao popularity... Not a huge fan of that, but as an avowed capitalist, what sells, sells.
One issue would be copyright. I went to the page you got the pics of posters from, H, and Landsberger seems pretty proud of his collection. He also puts his initials on each pic, usually in the lower right corner.
Even though he doesn't own the copyright on the original posters, he might have some copyright claims over pictures he made of the posters.
You might be better off trying to find original posters in some store, and then scanning them into the computer yourself.

The propaganda posters have a nice visual punch, and I really like them. What also sells are good slogans. Look at the most popular items on Cafe Press and you'll notice a lot of slogans.

Maybe we could find some posters and come up with some good, new text for them!

Creative juices are flowing...

P.S. Cafepress isn't the only game in town, either. We can look at other online sellers - some print in black, too (which Cafepress can't do)...
[Update/P.P.S. JP - I looked closer at your picture for ValtamINC, and noticed the man hanging from the tree with a spear in his side. Nice; didn't get that at first. As an image, it's a bit scary, though - how about an old guy with one eye, 2 ravens, 2 wolves, maybe an eight-legged horse...]
