Nothing screams “fall fashion” like a cozy midweight scarf complemented with a side of class struggle.
That’s the message from embattled retailer Target, who’s been caught pushing communist literature in fall fashion ad campaigns geared toward urban women of a certain age, The Post has learned.
This is happening at a time when the company can hardly afford any more culture war beefs.
Karl Marx’s political treatise “Capital” — beloved by radical leftists the world over — has been given a “landmark new translation” and was spotted nestled in Target’s carousel ads on Instagram. It is somewhat subversively being displayed smack in the middle of unrelated products

Das Kapital is such a tedious and long book no one ever reads it. It has always been a fashion accessory.

So, Target retrieved their shovels and digging their bankruptcy hole deeper. Who is running that place?

Unnecessary effort. Those women are devoted leftists and communists before they even go into the store.

Silly decision by Target - the demographic they are appealing to only does Tik-Tok.

I can't imagine trying to plow through that thing. Maybe some lefty can brag that he read it (or lie about) that he did it to his friends and be even more insufferable.

The last few times I went to Target their stores were full of nothing. How can I boycott something I never patronize.
Go woke, go broke.

I find Target to be a good alternative to Walmart which is overcrowded. The Target I go to also has a pharmacy where I pick up my prescriptions. I occasionally look at books but buy mostly online or not at all. Awful expensive these days.

Target really has a death wish. They lost a lot of business, including mine, when then touted that they let guys into the Ladies Rooms now they are pushing Marxism. Short their stock folks cause they aren't going anywhere.

Well, first off, Target would have to offer something that I, "a woman of a certain age" would attracted to.

Do they have Mein Kampf right next to it?

Marxism is a toxic ideology developed by 20th century genocidal gangsters. A free society, and free men, are well advised to keep an eye on Marxism in any of its forms and should always seek to limit its influence.
Karl Marx, on the other hand, was a consequential 19th century intellectual, who has been written about, and taken seriously by, intellectuals as credible and diverse as Thomas Sowell and Hannah Arendt. Free men in a free society need neither fear reading Marx's Das Kapital, nor should they feel the need to dissuade others from reading it.
In the underrated 60's T.V. series "I Spy," one of the heroes, Kelly Robinson, who is an American secret agent and a patriot, is discussing politics with a female Soviet agent. She asks him what he knows about Marx's Das Kapital. He replies, "I've read it. It's brilliant. And it's wrong." She asks why, and he says simply, "Because it tells me black is white and that's not how the world really is." In the midst of the anti-communist '60s, I thought that was an intelligent and mature thing to show on television.
I have no problem with Target selling any books people want to buy. I doubt very much many people are buying Das Kapital, and I doubt even more that many are reading it.

If you are not reading "Das Kapital" or "Mein Kampf" in their original German, how do you know what they really said?

I thought for Halloween you're supposed to wear masks instead of taking them off.

Target is a goofy company. I used to shop there. Don't even shop there online now.

I stopped going when they started letting perverts in the dressing and rest rooms with little girls. I'd boycott them, but I haven't been in one for years.

Target pushes the envelope in disgustitude, again.
But notice there is logic in running the ads -- a book affirming the leftist dogma is being marketed to a demographic that has an insatiable hunger for affirmation.

-2- is correct!! imho marx was the mere fashion accessory, and useless git. i fail to see the charm.
his school was under police surveillance, as filled with radical students and teachers.
as i recall, he married a cousin-for her money. he neglected his family so badly they were starving
-and later evicted. several of his children died.
however, ol' karl always had $$$ --from his friends, like engels.
karl's father was from a long line of rabbis; but he later converted to evangelical christianity
it was also said karl's father was greatly concerned his son was possessed by a demon.
he feared that karl's wife-a highly-regarded young lady from an important family-
would end up as a sacrifice to his son's demon.
sounds about right.

I don't shop at Target, for many reasons. Call this reason number 23.
