Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
Reading about tankies while being from the post soviet bloc is especially aggravating since we all remember and some still have to endure our drunk parents glorifying the „good old days” when milk was a luxury item and people listened to your phone calls.
I mean people still listen to your phone calls even in western countries and egg is looking to become a luxury item.
It’s not a democracy unless the official name of the country includes the word “democratic”.
This will spark valid discussion and not invoke weird tribalism that ignores the fact that we're all ruled by the rich under all of those systems. No siree. Just valid, non-divisive, discussions happening for this one.
Some of these states take actual steps to limit the power and influence of the rich...
Name one.
I could name three, but I think you can too.
So go ahead and name one.
"We're ruled by the rich in all of these systems!" when the issue being talked about is some basic level of democracy is missing the point entirely, jfc.
