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

something along the lines of theory/ logical thinking that would state how required it was to work out and develop discipline - this was all rhetoric spurred after reading roderic day

    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.
