honestly was looking for a jordan peterson equivilant of "clean your room" and workout sort of rhetoric - but coming from communists

Mao was an excellent swimmer.

One of the reasons he invited Kruschev to hang out with him at the pool while he made fun of him.

Yeah, Mao did some propaganda thing at one point where he swam across a river to i guess show people he was still healthy, and apparently it was a big deal? I don't remember all the details.

He swam across a bunch of rivers. His most famous swim was just going down the Yangtze when he was old and out of his official position of power. They reported an impossibly fast swim for that one, lol.
