        Yep, it’s titled something like «Mao Brothers execute Jesus.»
        The others is called «Lady Zedong.» If they took offense to Lady Zedong gorgeousness, that’s beholder problem.
        Mao balancing on Lenin, had me
        😂👀 because from afar it looks like Propeller Hat Lenin.

        Tankies are campists. If they weren’t campists they’d just be regular communists.
