We are the Russian Maoist Party, the Party of Rednecks, Dirty Migrants, Chicks and Faggots (repost)

We are the Russian Maoist Party, the party of rednecks, dirty migrants, chicks and faggots. That is what the bourgeoisie named us. If only it were not half-blind and could tell us apart – us little, dumb, wicked inbreds.
