Doesnt it get boring posting tankie propoganda? I know I am bored seeing it
Honestly how is this tankie?
Post hog xd
This isnt even propaganda.
How does this post try to persuade someone into thinking that the USSR was justified in using tanks to crush a revolution or to support Marxism-Leninism and not anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists(who commonly use "tankie")
It isnt even anticapitalist propaganda because it wasnt made to persuade anyone. It doesnt present any arguments against capitalism, its just a meme about someones opinion of capitalism
Ah yes, the anti authoritarian anarchists like the Ukrainian Free State, a military dictatorship that enabled pogroms against Jewish people in their territories.
The marxist leninists were in practice a lot more anti-authoritian" than the anarchists and other "anti-authoritians" of the time.
noted anti-stalinist Khrushchev sent tanks into Hungary
I would also send tanks into Hungary -even if we were close to a peaceful settlement- if I suddenly got reports of soviet government officials and jews being lynched. Revolutions don't start lynching jews. Counter-revolutions do.
This happened a decade after the holocaust in a country that the Soviets failed at denazifying as successfully as other Warsaw pact countries. Hungary was an enthusiastic collaborator in the holocaust. You do the math. The vanguard of the true revolution they were not.
Doesn't it get boring calling anybody left of Biden a "tankie?"
Ah yes, i forgot that being anti western and constantly posting anti western takes means being left of biden. My bad you right
You do know it doesn't have to be one extreme or the other, right? It's not be a talkie or suck off Elon.
Call them woke next lol you're ridiculous
This meme isn't even explicitly socialist it is just class conscious
That's socialist to them.
You, grayox, queermunist, tokenboomer, microwave and all the other sussy chapotraphouse talking point accounts. Nobody cares to post about anticapitalism this much except you guys.
Look at your accounts, its like 90% anti capitalism stuff.
Memes are the new pamphlets. You are free to post all the pro capitalist memes you like, go right ahead and be the champion of Capitalism you so desperately crave.
Well, I mean, yeah. I love doing me some communism, yum yum. Makes sense that I talk about it a lot when I'm killing time online.
Was there a point to what you said?
They are explicitly complaining that there are several users posting content they don't enjoy.
Don't you know the entire fediverse is supposed to be cultivated to PatFussy's personal taste?
