0.1% of people know it comes from mao so its safe to put in the movie as just a quote. People will go "wow cool quote" for a second and thats it. It means nothing to people that dont already know its from Mao and know Fred was a maoist so no one gets any idea about his actual political beliefs from that
There's also another scene where they say "comrade mao" when talking about tactics or some shit (IDK exactly the context it was a year ago when I saw it).
They don't hide that he's a leftist. Leftists can go in and realize it. Libs I know came out knowing it.
Short of the actors starting out every scene quoting some famous communist and citing who it was by idk what more they could do without making the actual movie worse.
I mean, the dude was a Maoist, an OG 'read theory' Guy, and the movie tries to frame him as an almost apolitical community organizer.
He quoted mao in the movie and they used one of his most famous speeches about revolution flowing from the barrell of a gun.
I didn't think it needed something every time he was on screen pulling some quote or waiving a red flag or something.
