Mao's the only Great Man of History who's recognizably a type of dumb guy we have today. Like if a white trash guy from Appalachia took over the US, made everyone memorize his Facebook posts, and thought the acidity of Mountain Dew cleaned his teeth. Which, by the way: never brushed his teeth. Just swished green tea. By the end his teeth were brown and his gums were constantly bloody and swollen with pus. History doesn't repeat but sometimes it's just cartoonishly stupid the same way twice.
