Not everybody who opposes McDonald's is red/communist. How is
it obvious to you that McDonald's is America's contribution to universal socialism? I don't think a similar colour scheme connects America and universal socialism together. Symbology and irrational jingoism go back a long ways. Advertising/propaganda methods that are similar have been used by competing groups in the past. The cheezy imagery of wholesome happy families used by multinationals in their advertising parallels that of both Soviet and American propaganda (anybody want a debate on the merits of Americanism?) but it sure doesn't make McDonald's to be America's contribution to universal socialism. It wouldn't hurt do some more research on what you term to be the "Left" and you may find that the "Left" is doing much more than targeting McDonald's.
