I was walking around Portland a couple of years ago and stumbled across a lunch room called something like "The People's Sandwich Shop". Their logo was a didactic poster reminiscent of Mao's cultural revolution, and NOT even tongue-in-cheek.
I thought how weird that a business would in embrace communism, and adopt a communist inspired theme for their company logo. "Forget it Jake. It's Portlandtown.".
I had a good laugh earlier this year when a famous feminist bookstore in Portland went out of business because there weren't enough volunteers to run it. I thought, what a great business plan—find volunteer employees who will work for free! Somehow that didn't quite work out.

To be fair, the bookstore would have succeeded had the owner been allowed to apply the socialist method fully.
Step 1: Ask for volunteers to work for free.
Step 2: Shoot anyone who doesn’t volunteer.
Isn’t this pinkos versus neo-nazis?
Neither side is out side.
