Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi and rational, leftist discussion. (shitposts are fine, but please keep it sat-sunday. You won't get banned or removed though)

For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

By that stupid definition there's no true capitalism either, so what's your point?

Oh? Are there no countries with private ownership of industry?

Oh? Are there no countries with state ownership of industry?

If that's your criteria, then yes, there are both truly communist and truly capitalist countries.

Tell me which country claiming to be communist is not actually just a dictatorship with a veneer?

None? That was like 200% sarcasm. You used a single criteria to mark countries as truly capitalist, so I though I might as well do the same.
