About
Pingu is a claymation penguin from a British-Swiss childrens' show. He has been seized by Tankie type communists as a mascot of the most extreme form of authoritarian communism. Today the meme is popular on the subreddit /r/FullCommunism that proliferates Communist memes.
Origins
The origin is unclear at this time, but there may be a link to this YouTube from 2013.
This video was then posted by /u/PersianClay on the /r/FullCommunism subreddit in 2015. Shortly afterward, /u/geckos100 declared "Pinguism" a communist ideology, and in early 2016 a main tagline for Pingu Communism was born from /u/SilkhyBanter where Pingu declares "I will make Stalin look like a Fucking Anarchist." This line is used in later Pingu memes as well.

Possible Historical Context
Pingu may also have been taken in by some Communist meme-makers because of an episode in the second season of Pingu, entitled Pingu's Admirer. This episode was banned due to a sign reading "Perestroika" and "Glasnost." The BBC considered the episode to be possibly promoting the USSR and was not aired.
