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.

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