This certainly seen in Los Angeles, 2007 ; I do not know about the rest of the USA.MACY's pretend not to know what has usually been going on under the sign of Red Star. This has been throughout the 20th century usually known as the symbol of the Red Army (USSR) ; now it features prominently on the shopping bags by MACY's, as seen be me downtown Los Angeles.
There has been an "explanation" given on-line somewhere ; it looks like somebody at MACY's was trying to do both, pretending to be an idiot, and supposing that there will be enough actual idiots out there to "buy" the explanation. (Please find it out, the reader, and form your own opinion).
Whatever the idiot-explanation given by MACY's (as found on-line), please note that actual pictures, entirely true, can be taken downtown Los Angeles, of MACY's shoppers parading about the town, carrying the Red Star on their shopping bags.
Such pictures could be given with any caption at all to the public in the continental China, in the North Korea, in any places in the South America (where there seems to be some marxist-style disorder going on all this time).
Have You Been Blind, America, (thoughout all these years) ?
(Note this is not an endorsement of every title listed below ; some of them are probably the Red propaganda, even those make nevertheless clear what sorts of activities were usually going on under the sign of the Red Star).
