I wonder if The Colonel is turning in his grave right now.

Lol. How ironic, promoting communism while practicing globalist capitalism.

I personally think we should explicitly politicize all of our fast food chains. Let's get a list going:
McDonalds - Capitalism
KFC - Communism
Wendy's - Anarchy?
Anyone think of any more?

Quick! Hook him up to a generator! We mustn't waste his power.
I, too, think the Colonel was very focused on commercial success and would have taken this in stride. Anyway Lei Feng is reportedly someone who does good deeds, like a Chinese Santa Claus. He's not a bloody killer. He clears garbage and helps old people; and its just a KFC not the Lincoln Memorial.
Lenin wrote, “When it comes time to hang the capitalists, they will vie with each other for the rope contract.”
It wouldn't take much. I've heard stories of Colonel Sanders in retirement - after he sold his portion of KFC - going into random KFC restaurants and berating the staff if the food wasn't up to his standard.

They are corrupting commies with chicken and probably mac'n cheese, too.
Doesn't really bother me that KFC in China is being nice to the natives, sure I don't like communism any more than the next independent-leaning individual. To me, it doesn't mean KFC is down with communism as much as they are down with their customer base.

What REALLY corrupted them was capitalism.
Weird how much Shanghai looks like NYC,
isnt it?

I don't know that capitalism corrupted them, but I suspect that city-culture has changed the country folk. City culture is relatively aggressive. It feels harsh and cold, and maybe it is. A lot of people don't like cities.
I doubt that the people who can afford this level of Western decadence are actually communists.
Perhaps @Audie can help elucidate.

Keep in mind that I am from Hong Kong and as such tend
to have a standoffish attitude toward mainlanders.
It is my experience that mainlanders are pretty much
apathetic about politics. China was such a mess,
for so long, the stability and prosperity are very
welcome. What can they do about the gov't, anyway?
There is no tradition of political discourse as
in the US, and many do not find it impressive.
Why would they?
Now is a chance to make some money, have
a better life. Nobody wants to mess that up.
As for identifying as a "communist", I have an
uncle who may be the last true communist in
China. He cannot seem to get past the cultural
revolution, and we know to avoid anything to
get him started!

Track record and all.

If he only knew how they turned his once top notch eatery into the greesy slimy cesspool of pure filth that it is today.
