Yes, Mao is evil. If you see a picture of Mao, you should burn it, because the evil can seep out of the picture and make people Commies.

Thank you for your intelligent and insightful summary of the point I was attempting to make. Far be it from me to argue with such brilliance on this point.

Warhol’s Mao litho was made in 1973. That evil murdering bastard continued his rampage until his death in 1976; I’d say that rather puts the lie to your suggestion that Art is how we deal with evil, unless you propose that caricatures were what brought down the Axis in Europe and Asia, and that Yaakov Smirnov was at least as responsible for the end of the Cold War as, say, Reagan and Pope John Paul II.
