Is this quote from something? I can’t seem to find anything other than a Reddit post.
It's a paraphrase of a quote that used to be on Wikipedia
I think it's paraphrased from elsewhere. When I search "The Maoist uprising against the landlords" with the quotation marks I get mostly Hexbear results
Been 2 months since wombat last said "the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry" 
Well now Wombat has others well trained to recite the lines when necessary, as we see exemplified by Rom at the top of this thread, so Wombat is able to take vacations.
I didn't know that's where it came from but I'm happy to carry on the posting legacy 
Death to landlords 
corrected
My bad. Corrected, thanks for pointing it out.
No problem. 
at least we're still receiving the date
Probably originates from chapo

I posted the full quote here once.
Part of Mao Zedong's land reform during the late phase of the Chinese Civil War and the early People's Republic of China was a campaign of mass killings of landlords in order to redistribute land to the peasant class and landless workers which resulted in millions of deaths. Those who were killed were targeted on the basis of class rather than ethnicity except for certain provinces where it was an ethnic conflict against minority ethnicities, therefore terming the campaign a "genocide" is incorrect and the neologism "classicide" is more accurate. Class-motivated mass killings continued almost throughout the 30 years of social and economic transformation in Maoist China. Harry Wu claims that 85- 90% of the 15 million members of the landlord class did not survive in China because large numbers of them fled overseas, especially from the south.
Historian Walter Scheidel notes that the violence of the land reform campaign had a significant impact on economic inequality. He gives as an example the village of Zhangzhuangcun, made famous by Hinton's book Fanshen: In Zhangzhuangcun, in the more thoroughly reformed north of the country, most "landlords" and "rich peasants" had lost all their land and often their lives or had fled. All formerly landless workers had received land, which eliminated this category altogether. As a result, "middling peasants," who now accounted for 90 percent of the village population, owned 90.8 percent of the land, as close to perfect equality as one could possibly hope for.
The original source is this: Hinton's book Fanshen: In Zhangzhuangcun.
I made the mistake of looking at a 
thread on this and of course basically every comment was a stupid joke, I don't think I saw a single person take it seriously, let alone condem it (except in moralistic "prostitution bad" ways that shifts blame to the women being taken advantage of)
Mandatory reeducation for anyone with a reddit account with more than like 1000 karma (yes I know my own reddit account sits at like 250k and this includes me too)
Especially those who have identified themselves as a Redditor, extra reeducation for them
I'll be there too, I still cringe at my "narwhals bacon at midnight" phase back when I was younger
The doomsday clock stands 1second from midnight. Chaos sweeps the globe. A shadow is cast across the clock face. It is narwhal shaped. You doubted him. But he baconed. :lololololol: 
I dream of a society where I would be sent to the countryside for reeducation.
I had 400k uhhhhhh
At least sharpen the guillotine first is all I ask.
I legit moved here and never went back though
Its interesting that they chose to to show a woman as if that's who's doing anything wrong here. It should be a gross old land leach hording housing and exploiting people any way they can
less likely to get clicks. it's all so gross.
How else are you supposed to sympathize with the landlord if they didn't show a bangable early twenties blonde to make you aspire to be a part of the class that gets to exploit her?
If they showed some gross early sixties landloser pervert, everyone would immediately see how fucked up the arrangement is, which your advertising clients might not appreciate.
All libertarians should be shot and buried in an unmarked mass grave.
these things were always a gross fantasy old pervs would post about but for some idiotic reason i assumed actual rental sites would remove them for being super illegal.
why haven't any of these men been arrested? cop says "it's an offence" well they literally list their fucking addresses publicly on the internet! guess this just doesn't warrant valuable cop time because these sex crimes are being committed by landlords?
When asked for comment by a local newspaper, the director of Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario said it was likely fake.
says the association that does not discipline these postings and tirelessly defends the fiat of landlords to extract whatever they want from tenants
But don't you know landlords are hard-working poor people who struggle to pay their bills! They have so little money they need your money to just break even!
However, there was some skepticism about the ad's authenticity. When asked for comment by a local newspaper, the director of Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario said it was likely fake.
No shit? Why would you ask this person anything other than "why are you not in a meat grinder right now?"
"""Become Popular""" as if there's no coercion
Can't believe how popular slavery was! Clearly everyone wanted it, a shocking number of people agreed to being slaves!
Yeah man, tell me more about how immigrants from latin america are sex traffickers.
Completely irredeemable
Lol, that's called Marriage in most places.
