About
"Chairman Yang" or "Comrade Yang" refers to the series of memes comparing Andrew Yang to communist revolutionaries. Chairman Yang functions as the mascot for the socialist Facebook page Chairman Yang's Red Army, and is used commonly to make references to Andrew Yang's social welfare policies such as Universal Basic Income with a socialist/communist perspective.
Origin
The meme originated when Andrew Yang was in a town hall with CNN on April 14, 2019, and referenced himself as "Comrade Yang" as one of Donald Trump's potential nicknames for him.
Spread
The first meme referencing Andrew Yang is found on the Facebook page Chairman Yang's Red Army on July 4, 2019, which photoshops Andrew Yang's face onto a Mao communist propaganda poster.
Use of Andrew Yang in this way eventually spread to Reddit in r/YangForPresidentHQ, r/YangGang, and r/YangGangMemes, and to other websites such as Newfa Stuff.
