Reverse image search yielded a bunch of tumblr blogs and nothing else so I don’t know the artist unfortunately. If anyone does I’ll add it to the post

    Mao’s party is still in charge today. Mao’s party killed landlords and starved millions when it started, and empowered Trump and Putin to starve and wage war on millions to this day. Nothing has changed.

      You don’t get to have it both ways.

      If saying Mao would try to mass murder a Communist party that has changed course on most of his directives is Tankie talk intent on lauding him, then saying he’s so potent that even after death his party is still in lock step with him is definitely lauding him and sounds like Tankie talk. Pick a lane, troll.

        It makes perfect sense when you realize there is no sanctity of human life in the eyes of Tankies and that their brand of communism™ is and has always been bullshit propaganda.

          There are a whole lot of people saying that group ethics has created a lot of horrible fallout and loss of life over human history and then there’s you with your made up perfect democracy that doesn’t exist and hasn’t really remotely existed since like the Athenians (and even then they had a fucking slave class), at least partially due to the logistics of scale, and the horrible selfishness of the general population, and then there’s you suggesting that we’re tankies because you can’t wrap your head around that fact that people disagree with you not because they are communist apologists, but because they see a fundamental flaw in your argument that the will of the people is the best ethical barometer.

            If you’re only just now realizing ethics and moral integrity don’t align with the world we live in, namely the horrible dictatorships pushing death, destruction of history, and starvation, then: congratulations, welcome to the world. Pick up a shovel.
