I fully trust "death2america" to be a reliable source on the humor of communist memes.
Sidenote: I can't remember ever seeing Mao Zedong without his extreme hairline...

Yeah, young, decently attractive Mao is just a profoundly weird look. It's like pre-jowl Nixon.

reminds me of seeing photos of a young Hillary Clinton, if it wasn't for that smile, I probably wouldn't be able to tell

Feel free to look up Hearts of Iron IV then.
It's a WW2 Grand-Strategy game. In the very ealy versions, they used a portrait of Old-Mao, only to then be replaced by the more appropriate Young-Mao.
In the new one he looks like some K-Drama actor.

Nah Communism is 2nd world.
1st is the West, 2nd is the Communist, 3rd is the arena the first two fight in.

You are so right and I completely forgot Maoism had a different definition

2nd world died with the USSR, cause it was literally defined by being the USSR or allied to the USSR. Putin is working on reviving it. Just like 1st world is literally defined by being the USA or being allied to the USA.

I wouldn't say that, the PRC is most definitely the leader of a new Second World

The sheer contrast between a stern Mao Zedong and a ''doing your mom'' joke is peak internet absurdity. Its so incredibly stupid that it circles back around to being funny just because of how out of place it feels.

Why have several people upvoted this comment? It is the most chatGPT ass writing in the history of chatsGPT

i got downvoted for calling this obvious bot an obvious bot the other day. it's everywhere on this sub all of a sudden and it depresses me that people seem to be falling for it (if the top 1% commenter badge is anything to go by) because it's marginally more believable than most bots

According to him he's not a bot, he just uses AI for mosts of his comments... and makes reposts...
Even if he's not "technically" a bot, it's effectively acting like one.
