Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung

I mean, I don't think that's the right comparison.

I kind of struggle to imagine, like, do we do we have I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong, but do we have like Zoran Mamdani saying that his favorite book is Little Red Book by Chairman Mao and then enacting Mao-like policies?
