If one edits an artwork to make it communist, should one take away the creator's signature or should one leave it? (lemmygrad.ml)

I leave it because even though I edit the text, it is still the creator’s artwork. However, someone on Reddit told me that I should take it out. What do you guys think?

Mentioned that it has been altered by you if you do leave it in. Creating openly communist artwork can destroy artist's careers in quite a few parts of the world, it wouldn't be fair to them if people see the edits and assume they are a communist if they aren't (or they are, but they don't want their professional work tied up with their personal work)

Were it only Ben Garrisons career destroyed by being associated with communist edits of his artwork :(
