Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

Its also because people aren't not flawless, socialism/communism need almost everyone to be good people to succeed, both the leaders and the followers.
My dad told me the people in factories (in China) would just slack off when the supervisors aren't looking.
The people in his factory said: 做也三十六，不做也三十六
"Work and you get paid ¥36, Don't work and you also get paid ¥36" (Currency in Yuan/Renminbi, pay is paid monthly, but this is a long time ago so its probably equivalent to like ¥2000 or more these days)
I don't think a utopia will work if this is what people do. People are selfish, from the leaders, to the workers, everyone.
Villages over-report their productions, then they have feasts to celebrate because they think there's a surplus.
Both external and internal struggles caused communism to fail
