It is funny, all my adult life I've been a leftist but never had much interaction with tankies because of how I was always taught that they were hypocrites and pseudo-fascists and so on...

But lurking lemmygrad and seeing "liberals", who mostly don't even know what that word means, getting repeatedly dunked on with actual sources and recommended reading has been a great eye opener to what ml actually stands for.

So please keep doing what you guys are doing, because even if who you are responding to runs away after getting an elaborated answer, there will always be people like me that are actually trying to learn something and will appreciate the response.

Communists that you find on internet are not just 13 year olds from america, there is a world out there you libs/conservatives from americkkka. It is really funny you guys still make this joke. Communists comes in different age, colour, from different countries. It is not a phase in the life of rebellious children from your country. So please don't come here to infantilize us.

Hey, the CPC has 90 million active members but they must all be naive, idiotic children, right? Truly they are too stupid to understand that our Western ideology is far more superior.

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

What does “active members” mean? That number seems kind of low for a country of 1.4 billion

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't fully know what it entails but the CPC has 98 million party members. For a population of 1.4 billion that seems low, but you have to remember that not every single person has the ambition to be politically involved. Many people just live their lives without being member of a political party. And even then, almost 1 in 14 people being member of the biggest party in the country is pretty massive.

But random attacks on the character of their enemy is the only way they know how to dismiss a position that disagrees with theirs! What else could they possibly do other than call us names? If they actually listened to us they might realise we have something to say.

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

That's it. The only way to remain an anti-communist is to refuse to read communist literature. Anyone who reads communist theory will either become a communist or know that communists are right (and become a figure like McCarthy).

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't even know wtf I'm looking at.

read theory...

Maybe make it more generic to really be cryptic. Literacy vs libs

Who's libs? no idea. Reading what? still no idea. Why basketball is involved, cause kids like to ball.

I've always wondered why dunks were considered a big deal. They happen several times a game and are the same amount of points. Is that in theory somewhere? I'm lost by everything in this meme

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

In case anyone actually has some of these questions:

We’re a Marxist-Leninist instance, which means we’re communists.

Libs refers to people who follow liberalism, which applies to both the US’ Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

Theory refers to Marxist theory. We’re often famous for telling people to read things…

The basketball is because memes are way better than making a paragraph explaining like this.

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

Yeah, because I'm sure American internet politicians are 100% serious and basketball is just a kid's game. For a guy who thinks any progress is good, you seem to be pretty intent on keeping that progress as low as possible.

Aww someone's upset their cryptic toilet tier meme meant for a hyper niche group isn't understood. :(

DJT levels of fragile all up in here. Good luck spreading your ideals with confusing messaging and snarky comments.

Damn, they're charging headlong into machine gun fire. And I thought meat shield suicide armies only existed in fiction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There were a few occasions when the Romanian fascists machine‐gunned retreaters.

Officers often threatened to shoot cowards, and commanders sometimes even ordered “blocking detachments” to machine gun soldiers who retreated, though this was rarely followed through with.

blocking detachments

According to Russell Bentley, the Ukrainian government was doing this during the 2015-2018 period of the war in Donbass. The regular army was incredibly demoralized -- they were fighting against a determined and heroic enemy, who in the battle of Donetsk Airport took down Ukrop observation towers not with artillery, but with machine gun fire trained for days at the base -- and to keep these conscripts from retreating, Azov and Aidar troops were kept stationed in their rear.

Oh, hey, Enemy at the Gates was projection after all! Who woulda thunk.

For people that have been waiting for systemic change for decades by calmly ticking a box on a ballot you guys sure seem to not have that much patience

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Reminiscent of the self referential in r/TheDonald where they thought they would 'own' liberals..

Same people kids, different flag.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Horseshoe theory amirite winkwink

Go harder. If we keep projecting the graph to lower dimensions until there's just a point then you don't have to waste a bullet on me anymore. Honestly we could simplify a lot of things this way. If you simplify enough you only need one of anything and you have everything. Bam. Post scarcity society and all of a sudden you don't have to shoot me again.

When do I get to join Special Circumstances?

Edit: I'm confused about if you guys are in support of the massive oversimplification of the horseshoe bullshit or are getting a head start.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The USSR defeated 70% of the german divisions in WW2, and paid the greatest cost in blood and suffering. They literally saved the world from Nazism.

The tides of the war were turned a full year and a half at Stalingrad, after which the US decided to get in the game to prevent a red europe.

Marxism-Leninism truly remains the cure for Fascism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They are kinda bad at the naval gazing too:

Plus all the times when 7th fleet ships crashed into civilian vessels and ran aground in last few years.
