In the words of Knuckles the Echidna: "The communists are censoring you? Damn, I wish it worked. Shut the fuck up."

It's amazing the number of tankies and overall left-nuts I've found on here. Figures considering the kind of people that frequent FOSS spaces

Lol. So right. These nerds hate everyone who makes everything and doesn't give them free stuff.

Except that many of us, including myself, live reasonably comfortable lives under capitalism? It's an extremely selfish position to be satisfied with a system that has done good things for you personally, but has ravaged the lives of countless others.

It's not about free stuff. It has never been about free stuff. It's about the fact that a society is bad if it allows a minority population to get richer, without first ensuring that everyone's basic human needs are satisfied.

No one is stopping you from supporting whoever you want. There is nothing moral about spending other people's money to do charitable things. Millions have died under tyrannical bureaucracies that were built on the sentimate you've expressed here. Society has no business holding people down or propping others up. Live your life. Mind your business.

Tankie is just a slur for people who aren’t ideological and financially compromised by the United Treats of America.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Found the tankie.

Honestly What bullshit.

Tankie is a slur for authoritarian communists.

There is a healthy and honest way to appreciate communism, Russia, the CCP and even DPRK.

And then there are people who are completely shilling the CCP Russia DPRK as communist uptopias. These people are tankies.

If you are unable to recoginze the atrocities commited at any point in history, by the USA China, Russia , or any other country for that Matter. You're a chump.

Please tell us more about those healthy and honest "anti-authoritarian" non-tankie communists. Who are they and what political results have they made?

Sankara supported the USSR and DPRK, just like all actual communists do

Im not a communist, i am an anarchist.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then why are you telling communist to read about Sankara, a figure we already know and love

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Becuase he is am example of a communist I support.

People keep calling me a liberal. Im an anarchist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sankara was ML like all the people you're calling tankies. I respect him too. What makes him good and and the rest of us evil "authoritarians"?

Comparing yourself to Yezhov is worse than anything we've said to you

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He doesn't know anything about soviet russia. Yezhov, like Berjia is one that will be never reabilitated.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbf Trotsky also won't be rehabilitated and I suspect OP would be happy to give us some Very Informed Takes on him as well.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Leon Trotsky (murdered in 1940) was rehabilitated on June 16, 2001 by Russia
