You got to have some balls to do that in china. Theyve put people in jail for far far less.

Are they killing jesus? That's kinda hilarious. Not sure about the woman bad, ugly women extra bad, man ugly woman gigabad one 😬

Is the last one meant to be like tiny stupid Mao balancing on big Lenin's brain?

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

Campists∗ gonna camp∗

Now let's remake origami for comrades to fold at communes!

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

[–] waltersf@bookwyr.me 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But PRC isn't either. It's state capitalism to a T.

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And actual communists whonaren't tankies would understand that and not support the PRC.
