White trash throw hissy-fit over Absolut Vodka Advertisement, re-unified Mexico

Controversy has erupted in White Trashland over a recent advertisement for Absolut Vodka. The ad features a map of Mexico prior to the losses in territory suffered between 1836 to 1848. In little over a decade, White settler imperialists stole and occupied roughly half of Mexico. Texas, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming and Colorado continue to be occupied to this day.
Predictably, racist pundits like Michelle Malkin are using the ad to whip up anti-Mexican sentiment. (1) The Drudge Report made sure to link to the L.A. Times’ blog where the story originally appeared. The L.A. Times’ blog post is sardonically entitled, “Mexico reconquers California? Absolut drinks to that!” (2) Yet more evidence of the Mexican reconquista plot planned by Lin Biao, executed by MECha. If only. (3)
In a public statement, Paula Eriksson, VP Corporate Communications, V&S Absolut Spirits, stated:
In An Absolut World advertising campaign invites consumers to visualize a world that appeals to them — one they feel may be more idealized or one that may be a bit “fantastic.” As such, the campaign will elicit varying opinions and points of view. We have a variety of executions running in countries worldwide, and each is germane to that country and that population.This particular ad, which ran in Mexico, was based upon historical perspectives and was created with a Mexican sensibility. In no way was this meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues. Instead, it hearkens to a time which the population of Mexico may feel was more ideal.As a global company, we recognize that people in different parts of the world may lend different perspectives or interpret our ads in a different way than was intended in that market. Obviously, this ad was run in Mexico, and not the US — that ad might have been very different. (4)
Despite the wishy-washy double talk by Absolut, the ad works precisely because Mexicans long for a world where Mexico retains sovereignty over its full territory. Mexicans long to throw off the yoke of White imperialism. Mexicans seek national liberation, removal of White settlers, the return of the land. Translated into politically correct verbiage, “The campaign taps into the national pride of Mexicans, according to Favio Ucedo, creative director of leading Latino advertising agency Grupo Gallegos in the U.S.” (5)
Ironically, this Swedish corporation, motivated by its desire to peddle alcohol, has a better grip on the aspirations of the Mexican peoples than most of the White so-called left. Most of the White so-called left rejects the very idea that Mexicans aspire to anything different than Whites. Most of the White so-called left rejects the idea that there is a legitimate Mexican or Chicano demand for national liberation. White nationalist cults like the RCP have sought to undermine or co-opt national liberation movements within North America — pure chauvinism. Whether multi-national or not, non-White and Third Worldist liberation movements that do not accept RCP’s White imperialist line are willy-nilly labeled as “Bundist.” The fakes and fence sitters in the globe-Trotting scene give cover to RCP’s White racism under the cover of Maoism. The fakes betrayed the oppressed nations of North America by helping Avakian and his gang ruin Maoism for decades. Now the fakes of the dead, rotting RIM have been exposed. Let’s drink to that!

typical marxist
Doesn’t this map conflict with the borders of American Indians? This is a divisive map. Nation and race are just a way to divide us. We need to ALL UNITE– including our white brothers and sisters.
To “American,” no this is not “typical marxist.” Typical “Marxists” in Amerikkka don’t stand for national liberation, instead advance some vulgurized version of working class “unity,” forgetting this is a settler nation built on stolen land and colonization. “Typical Marxists” in Amerikkka wouldn’t know an oppressed nation if it hit them in the ass.
For the Question of conflicting borders, it is true that there are several oppressed nations inside the Amerikan empire. Blacks, Chicanos, and Native Americans all live on this land. But there is enough land for everyone, and all conflicting land questions can be worked out for everyone to live on, develop as nations, with room for development and justice. The problem is with the European settlers. There’s just too many of them, there illegal immigration crowded out everyone who was here before them.
The rest of the question is just naive idealism, nation and race don’t come out of nowhere and cannot be wished away. National oppression is a real thing, and there is no place for unity with oppressors. If whites want to ally with national liberation, fine, but white settlers as a whole don’t have a say on who gets the land.
One of the old RCP arguments.
Mexicans claim the South Western part of the U$. First Nation peoples do too. Since there are competing land claims, how can we, decide who gets what in a non-arbitrary way?
The question is a racist one that the RCP kool aid cult has rhetorically raised over the years. Of course, it is a pure fantasy, a racist one at that, that Bob Afakean and his zombies will be ruling over anything , let alone deciding whether Mexicans and First Nation peoples get to exercise sovereignty in their homelands. It is also racist for RCP and its imitators to assume that the Mexicans and First Nation peoples can’t figure out some way to work things out without a Great White hope like Bob Afakean. Bob Afakean doesn’t think that oppressed peoples in North America are capable of leading themselves. Mexico is a multi-national country made up mostly of indigenous nations. There is more basis for unity between the Mexican nations and the First Nations than between them and the Whites! The real question: how the Third Worlders, Mexicans and First Nation peoples decide the fate of cult godheads like Bob Afakean and the rest of the White social-fascists, the Amerikan so-called left?
RCP’s racist reasoning goes on: Since there is no way to decide between Mexicans and First Nations as to who owns the land, neither owns it. What this really means: The status quo, White occupation will remain intact. All critics of RC P’s White racism will be labeled as “bundists” in RCP zombie-speak.
No bundism here. Multi-national unity to destroy the First World, especially the White Nation, is fine! The issue is one of class. The White Nation is completely bought off. There are no significant popular classes within the White Nation. Oppressed nations share common interests because of common material conditions. This opens up the basis for a class unity that is multi-national between oppressed nations. Yet there is no basis of unity between the oppressed nations and the White Nation based on shared class interests of the popular classes. Why? Because there are no popular classes of any significance in the White Nation. There is no White proletariat.
RCP hacks and zombies spread the lie that Maoist-Third Worldists are “bundists” because we recognize the obvious fact that there is no basis for unity with the White nation.
This map is a good start. It would be greatly improved by removing the E$trago$ Unido$ de Amérikkka and Klanadá altogether.
As the comrade stated above, the division of land is the business of the oppressed nations. The oppressors don’t get a say.
In 1926, Comrade Mao said that “Who are our enemies?” and “Who are our friends?” were questions “of the first importance for the revolution.” So who are our friends among the whites? The tiny handful of John Browns who betray their oppreSSor nation and unite with the oppressed nations to destroy imperialism.
It is good RCP is falling apart. It’s good to see that racist party crumbling. Their influence was so destructive. The only thing they were good for was an occasional laugh the cult provided. I won’t miss those arrogant racists!
What is unscientific cannot produce unity. The R¢P=U$A was bound to degenerate into Trotskyite factions, each with its own metaphysical dogma pretending to be Marxism.
Geat Ad! Absolut makes great Molotov cocktails!
