Who won that battle?

In 1949, Chairman Mao founded the People's Republic of China. When he died in 1976, his body was put on display in a mausoleum in Tiennamen Square and he is recognized as one of the most important leaders and communists in human history.
Ray Kroc founded McDonald's in 1954. It has quickly become one of the world's most recognizable brands and stands as a symbol of American capitalism.
Now one can enjoy a big mac while having a great view of the people lining up to take a look at Chairman Mao's body. This is one image that sums up the end result of 50 years of post-WW2 politics.
