    My favorite was Ben Shapiro saying “Mao took away everyone’s guns,” and reactionaries started parroting this, which was the complete opposite of what happened. Mao was like “Here have some guns. I’m not gonna tell you what you should do, but also it’d be a real shame if some landlords tried to collect rent from their tenants.”

    They’ll claim he killed 60 million people, but then not explain how. Hint: revolutionaries went around shooting anyone they didn’t like after communists won the civil war.

      “I don’t know where political power grows out of, I hope it’s not from the barrel of a gun, I hate those things”

      - Mao
