i wonder what would happen tho…

oh youre scared? you should be >:3

youre absolutely goddamn right!

lol oki. i decided to stop arguing with the tankies here. i dont wanna legitimize it as a valid position to discuss about.

dont waste too much time on these fuckers, look after urself too :3

im good! glad u got made a mod here as well!

based. also hiii moss :3

i fully agree and im sorry if it came across differently.

yea i know. genocide is never a good thing. no matter who does it. whats ur point?

a community not welcoming assholes =/= a state killing everyone who’s in their way. one is authoritarian, the other is not.

Simply having a stock market doesn’t mean the markets are free to function as they please.

are u saying that government intervention in the “free market” = communism?

as a reminder, communism is a stateless, classless, and moneyless society.

also, state intervention in the market does not make a country no longer capitalist, they all have that.

but comparing usa to nazi germany or current day china is delusional

i was just giving u a list of genocidal capitalist countries, i wasnt comparing them with each other.

many countries are built on genocide thanks to colonialism. canada is one of them, and it has not changed its course

oh dear here we go. off the top of my head, there is of course, canada, usa (native americans), israel (palestinians), nazi germany (jewish people, PoC, queer people, communists, and a whole bunch of others)(it mightve called itself socialist but was still very much capitalist), china (uyghur people) (also might call itself communist but they literally have billionaires and a fucking stock market, cmon)

hm i wonder if theres any capitalist countries with a history of committing genocide…

i disagree. if you welcome one, they will all come and bring their friends, and then u have a tankie community ;)

just because they do good things too doesnt make them perfect

it may seem that way, but no. pro-freedom actually means keeping people away who wanna take our freedom. i.e. authoritarians like tankies

but don’t buy from western propaganda

i.e. are critical of russia, but stand by even the most autoritarian, anti-democratic, militaristic, imperialistic regimes - just because they call themselves “socialist” or “communist”, except for russias invasion of ukraine

tankies arent radical left. they are authoritarians ffs

me when i found out theres a 196 on lemmy
