Redditor (16 hours ago): “Go suck on Kim Jong Uns fat c*** you commie loving f***ers, no wonder why you apes hate democracy and freedom of speech.

Moderator (3 hours ago): “You really misunderstand communism if that’s what you think it is, but here’s a Mao quote for you to consider:” (see below spoiler)
