It took me a really long time to find something to talk about. I came across this contemporary ad of m&m's. This poster is designed by Clemenger BBDO as design agency in Australia. As you can see there is a lot of communist issues with this ad. One is the fact that the whole poster is red. Its talking about voting for the favorite m&m color. Which in this one of course they are telling you to vote for red. I thought this was a very good contemporary example to show the link from then to now. There are also the solider implication in this ad also. I also think it was funny how on the top it say "The Redolution".

This just makes me smile.
It even says "Vote Red" at the bottom. I wonder if they did a series of ads/posters just like this but swapping out the different colors of M&Ms...
I think this is a very clever poster, yet something tells me the Karl Marx is somewhere spinning in his grave. The use of Communist red and the ideals of the Socialist revolution as a shameless promotion for Capitalistic Chocolate consumers, how thoughtful.
