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?

I think editing the original artist's signature just like you edit the piece itself, could be a cool touch. That way you indirectly 'refer' to the original artist but also make it clear that you're not them. You can kinda play that artist's communist alter ego that way.
