Go team hamberder!
Shortly before noon on 7 July 1994, Kim Il Sung collapsed from a heart attack at his residence in Hyangsan, North Pyongan. After the heart attack, Kim Jong Il ordered the team of doctors who were constantly at his father's side to leave and arranged for the country's best doctors to be flown in from Pyongyang. After several hours, the doctors from Pyongyang arrived, but despite their efforts to save him, Kim Il Sung died at 02:00 am PST on 8 July 1994, aged 82.[102] After the traditional Confucian mourning period, his death was declared 34 hours later

Mao's policies resulted in a vast number of deaths, with tens of millions of victims of famine, political persecution, prison labour and executions, and his regime has been described as totalitarian.
In 1976, Mao died of a heart attack.
more confirmation we're a third world country now
Totally not cult behavior at all.
Dictator portraits are now available.
But why the usda?
My guess is that they will be everywhere soon
That's some serious dictator shit
LOL. Yeah, this is some dictatorship shit, but in the absolute cheapest way possible. No carving, no painting, just a temporary banner that I am sure will not weather well.
it's amazing how completely the trump takeover encapsulates the modern US, it's only beaten by cheap "RAAAAA I LOVE THE USA BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD" paraphernalia with "Made in P.R.C" stamped on the back
Jesus
I can't help but see them as Big brother...
