Mercedes Benz rolls out Che Guevara to tout its new car-sharing initiative, “CarTogether.” Che once said “To establish Socialism rivers of blood must flow!” Wonder if Mercedes can find a place for that in their car-sharing campaign, like “To establish CarTogether rivers of blood must flow!” Cool, huh?

Benz apologized. Too late, IMO.
I met a man a few years ago while he was running for a local office who'd witnessed Liberal hero Che personally shoot his uncle in the back of the head.
Che is a liberal hero because he killed in the name of national socialism
Che was an OG Occupier
It's a promotion for Che, after years of selling T-shirts to millions of maggot infested hippies he's now selling luxury cars to wealthy leftists. Nothing says "I'm a revolutionary" like tooling down the autobahn in a top of the line Mercedes.
How do you conservatives manage to navigate your way through the routine tasks of life, things like turning doorknobs and walking whilst chewing gum.
You see, in an ideal socialist society, the trappings of wealth--nice cars, big houses, etc.--do not disappear, they are merely acquired and controlled by members of an intelligent, benevolent upper class.
i.e. Me and my fellow government workers.
If any of you need this explained more simply, I can provide you with a cartoon book I am writing for dumb conservatives called, "See John? John is a Socialist Hero."
See John. John is a socialist. See John work? Of course not, he does not need to work. See John oversee. Yes. John is good at supervising!
Have a nice day con-serf-itives!
Outstanding analysis R. Coddington.
Look, my conservative friends, Mercedes is just marketing its cars to those that have the money. The socialists and communists won. They run things now. They are your elite overlords. Just ask them. And they need to be paid appropriately. By what stretch of the imagination do you believe you should receive more income than your betters? Silly capitalist Neaderthals.
What better way is there to advertise a product than to associate it with one of your customers' heroes?
Plus, by associating itself with the revolution, Mercedes can obtain a bailout if its union member employees need more money.
This is what change looks like.
And thank you so much for those in-ane words of wisdom Mr. Fahrnsworth...however, St. Che is not in my pantheon of psycological
social advisors, nor is Mercedes on my list of future capitalistic acquisitions, and oh, BTW, serf-dom is a condition awaiting all those who fall from favor: like rich, snarky, gubmint do-nothings, who troll con-serva-tive web sites.
Che Guevara: “Judicial evidence is an archaic bourgeois detail. I don’t need evidence to execute a man. I only need evidence that it’s necessary to execute him. We carry it out from revolutionary conviction.” Enough said.
My email to Mercedes USA: Using Che Guevera, a mass murderer to market at CES , is disgusting. Why don't you just go all in and use Adolph Hitler and the Volkswagen (people's car) concept? Needless to say I do not foresee any Mercedes purchases in my future.
Kind of funny Che's being used it market luxury cars. Irony at its best!
"...Che, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz..."
Now that sums up the history of Mercedes Benz, selling luxury cars to Despots and Dictators since 1898.
Poor Che must be rotating in His grave. Fidel Castro might be buying a Mercedes now, though.
