Neither the USSR nor the CCP ever tried to be communist. They used that banner to gather supporters and then seized all control of the government in an authoritarian takeover. Communism doesn’t have “dear leaders” or usually even parties. Places like the USSR used their control over capital and wages and property ownership to control their populace entirely. We’ve never really seen an actual communist country because all the major efforts were sabotaged by people who wanted to be dictators.
Someone knows their political philosophy😉. This is correct and well said.
Despite the tankie dislikes you are 100% right and idk about Communism but I definitely believe in democratic socialism!
Hello tankie
I haven’t dug through their post history, but this post isn’t the definition of tankie, not all communists are tankies. Tankie = the pricks who support the Russian evasion, deny Tiananmen square, etc. Fuck tankies, but this post ain’t that
This post is blaming the West for cold war communism failures.
And cold war communism is only considered “good” if your a tankie.
Do you try to compare aituations like Chile to the UDSSR or what?
I’m not a tankie but tianenmen square was definitely a CIA operation.
/s?
Saucey sauce

Okay im game, tell me how the Chinese killing a bunch of people in Tiananmen square is the cia’s fault.
Can you explain how china conquering Tibet is not their fault either?
The ‘democracy protestors’ were all capitalist agitators funded by the CIA. The main ‘organizers’ now either live in the USA or hong Kong and are very rich.
As for Tibet I suggest you listen to this short video

Pen and teller did a great episode of bullshit on Tibet as well

For the love of everything can we please ban people like this?!
There’s already a dozen of those
containerscommunities, but these “memes” keep leaking.
Capitalism worked under Eastern aggression, Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions, and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.
It worked better than Communism because it works better than Communism. LMFAO
Capitalism worked under Eastern aggression
Right, the countries that invaded the USSR in its nascent years, constantly tried to assassinate leaders of progressive movements, couped most countries on Earth.
Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions
The projection lol
and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.
As that joke goes, a CIA and KGB officer meet at a bar. The CIA officer says to the KGB officer “You’ve got a good propaganda machine!”, the KGB officer replies “Well, yours is unbeatable.”
The CIA agent responds with “What propaganda? In the West we don’t have propaganda.”
Keep crying, tankie
Your shitty dictatorships failed because they were orders of magnitude more corrupt and dysfunctional than capitalism, and even more oppressive towards the general public.
Dictatorship is when bad country, democratic is when good western country
I mean you cam take western out and your statement still works fine.
Fuck authoritarians of any side.
Any society is authoritarian, it depends who wields it.
Your point is?
That you have been brainwashed to only see communist country as authoritarian while the police in your democracy kills black people every day on the street.
So are you saying Putin is a not shitty dictator? He’s definitely not a communist and he’s still in charge of Russia.
Nah he’s a fascist. Same corruption as communism, different flavor.
Oh? please explain
They’re both auth dictator scumbags who steal from and oppress the people. Dictators are dictators. Left or right, the only difference is exactly who they want to kill. The Soviets oppressed and occupied Eastern Europe and Putin wants nothing more than to do the same.
Thankfully, Putin is less capable than Stalin, so Russian fascist rule isn’t as terrible as Soviet communist rule.
So all those price controls under the soviet Union were just them oppressing their citizens?
