This is not the same as Blood Diamonds, which are actually manufactured directly by Hessians and sold only on their bases. Blood Diamonds are not illegal for symbolic reasons, but because their purchase directly finances the greatest non-House threat to Rheinland.
The LWB do not, as far as we know, have any part in the production of the Jillies. They are simply a Stuttgart plant that "some supporters" happen to wear.
So, Blood Diamonds are outlawed because Hessians have a monopoly at mining, refining and then getting rich from them while they actually have said monopoly only because of Blood Diamonds have been outlawed? What? Did the solution really create the problem? I already offered an other solution, seemingly not creating the issue it is meant to solve:

You can still have the Militär and the Police to watch over corporate miners and haulers, as well as legal backing, something I consider significant advantage over mere renegade miners.
While LWB does not produce Jillies, farmers on Stuttgart do, who have like the highest chance in Sirius to join LWB because of Synth Foods, and what they are doing to Stuttgart, as well as the Rhein Govt., for letting Synth Foods do what they do. Solidarity towards these farmers and pride at traditional farming and real, healthy food, on the contrary to Synth products are the reasons "some" LWB-supporters wear it. It is "just a flower", feeling the effects of Synth Foods on Stuttgart, like the farmers do, like LWB does. But of course, it is "just a flower".
