The Fashion Pigs by monkeysmashesheaven.wordpress.com
Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz is being accused of committing a “fashion crime” in Peru. (1) The actress of There is Something About Mary and Shrek fame wore a tourist reproduction of Cultural Revolution-era style bag on her trip to Machu Picchu. The bag with a red star and the slogan “Serve the People” in Mao Zedong’s calligraphy emblazoned on the side has caused much yapping from imperialists, white-trash, and Peruvian compradors.
Various bourgeois so-called “human rights” groups are making noise about the fashion faux pas. Diaz said regretfully, “I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended,” she wrote in an e-mail to the Associated Press. “The bag was a purchase I made as a tourist in China and I did not realize the potentially hurtful nature of the slogan printed on it.”(2) Apparently, “Serve the People” is a hurtful slogan according to the imperialists.
Her apology was not enough for Thor Halvorssen of the so-called “Human Rights Foundation,” a suspect organization that appears to spend most of its time as an imperialist mouth piece attacking Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and Evo Morales. (3) Halvorssen,
It is bad enough that Diaz wears a bag quoting history’s most prolific butcher, but what’s even worse is that she is of Cuban heritage and really should know something about the true history of communism. There is a double standard here that boggles the mind: Had she worn a bag quoting Himmler or Pinochet, she would likely face career annihilation, and rightly so. (4)
White-trash blogs have also been chiming in,
So to your typical sheltered Western elite it’s just a fun communist phrase. “Serve the People.”…I think not wearing slogans of organizations the killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians in the past couple of decades would be a good start. Having the Western Elite – from Diaz to your average college kid – have even a passing familiarity with the blood behind populist slogans in general would be nice. (5)
Another white-trash blog,
Why would actress Cameron Diaz want a handbag emblazoned with Maoist slogans? This is fashion? And then to insensitively wear it while touring Peru, a land where Maoist ideologues murdered tens of thousands. Why not just wear a “Go Hitler!” sweatshirt in Jerusalem or a “Pol Pot Is My Homeboy” baseball cap in Cambodia? Even if Diaz was truly clueless, her handlers should have caught this…. No, wearing a Mao Zedong handbag is just evil. (6)
Thor Halvorssen and the white-trash yappers have no clue. Mao was one of the greatest liberators of all time. The Chinese revolution under Mao’s leadership smashed feudalism and built socialism for a quarter of the world’s population. A quarter of the world’s population was without political power and existed in conditions of dire poverty. A quarter of the world lived in squalor while imperialists and their comprador and feudal allies reaped the benefits. Mao’s revolution was also the greatest feminist revolution of all time, bringing real political power to a quarter of the world’s females. The Chinese Communists under Mao brought health care and education to a quarter of humynity. Life expectancy nearly doubled. The infant death rate was reduced by 77% in the Mao years. (7) Under Mao’s leadership, humynity embarked on a great social experiment that was truly liberating. And, when the gains were being reversed by capitalist-roaders, the Maoists unleashed a cultural revolution to protect the gains of socialism and push even further to communism.
The Communist Party of Peru, known as “Shining Path,” led a people’s war to liberate Peru from the clutches of yankee imperialism. Revolution is not a dinner party and people die in wars. However, even bourgeois so-called “human rights” groups admit more people were assassinated by the yankee backed genocidal puppet state in Peru. In addition, vastly more people die in Peru due to the structurally caused poverty inflicted by imperialism. Blaming the Communist Party of Peru for the deaths that happened during the people’s war is blaming the oppressed for standing up to their oppressor. It is like blaming the victim when she fights back.
Typically, Halvorssen and the white-trash yappers incorrectly compare communism with Nazism. Communism is revolutionary science wielded by the oppressed to advance all of humynity to a global society where no group has power over another. Nazism is an arch-reactionary imperialist ideology that advocates the vilest forms of oppression. The Nazis waged a brutal genocide against oppressed peoples in parts of Europe and the Soviet Union. The yankee puppet Alberto Fujimori of Peru waged a de facto genocide against the countryside of Peru. In addition, Halvorssen mentions Pinochet, but he forgets to mention that compradors like Pinochet and their imperial masters are exactly the ones that the masses led by Maoists fight against. In addition, the single greatest genocide of all time was waged by the Amerikan nation when it exterminated a continent of First Nations to make room for its white-trash empire. Does anyone think that there would be an uproar if Diaz wore a bag with an Amerikan flag on it? Of course not.
It is not surprising to hear an apology from the host of Trippin’, a show where rich and famous Amerikan stars pretend to go-native and learn from locals in “exotic” places “in the middle of nowhere” like Bhutan and Honduras. (8) When Diaz apologizes for brandishing a “hurtful slogan,” she should be honest and embrace the slogan of imperialism, “Fuck the People.”

Fucking ridiculous. Why anyone would get so pissed off about a Hollywood bimbo carrying around a bag with a quote by Mao on it is beyond my reasoning. Leave her the hell alone. At least she’s not driving drunk or walking around in public restrooms without shoes or socks (Paris and Brittany). I highly doubt she even understands what Mao’s ideas even were.
