Don't even get me started on the ones who try to argue that "North Korea is more free and democratic than the US".
-
Ahh thanks for the great reminder for all the tankies about communism failing for China and all these nations so they had to incorporate capitalism and allowed privatization of industries.
USSR did it, China did it, Vietnam did it, Cuba is doing it.
-
At the moment I’m writing this, 7 tankies have seen your comment
-
also the people that say socialism is fascism are the ones slowly taking our rights away.
You want to read what book? No we don't like it. Who are you gonna have sex with? No we don't like that...
-
-
Lol what, no that's just the standard for communism lol
-
-
There is a stage in the transition to communism called 'the oppression of the proletariat' aka 'dictatorship'. Supposedly it should be a temporary stage before transitioning into a more decentralized type of government. As far as I am aware, not any communist revolution got beyond the dictatorship stage as absolute power corrupts.
-
Specifically "dictatorship of the proletariat", which was basically an 1800s gothic way to say "direct democracy for workers". Marx is somewhat infamous for the way he makes his ideas sound scarier than they are
And to clarify, most revolutions fail or adopt bureaucracy primarily to defend themselves from outside, capitalist influence, power corruption probably plays a part too but state power used by socialists is actually part of the plot

Other than Fascists lying and claiming to be socialists. Because that's something fascists do... they lie. All the time.
Or are you someone who thinks the "National Socialist Party" was socialists because the literal Nazis would never misrepresent themselves?
That hexbear instance is full of fascists claiming to be socialists LOL.
-
-
As long as you properly label China and Russia fascist authoritarian because they have a boner for racism and bigotry.

Venezuela would like a word

My feed got a lot less irritating when I blocked posts from CyberGhost.
-
imagine lemmy if we could user-level defederate lemmygrad & hexbear
paradise
-
It's such a fucking pain in my ass to have to block every single community from Lemmygrad and Hexbear. I'm so tired of seeing their dumbass 7th grade love of fascists and racism.
-
-
-
Or simply choose a instance that defederates fascists and authoritarian loving dipsshits. Never had a problem here with far right or tankie content.
-
On sync for Lemmy you can block instances by putting it in it's filter list.
-
-
The connect app allows you to block instances. Not the same as defeding obviously, but it helps.
-
-
What’d I miss?
-
To summarize: More tankie bullshit
-
-
-
So many hexbear users here lmao
-
This has made my Lemmy experience considerably better
-
How do you do instance-based filtering (other than starting your own instance and defederating)? This is something I’ve been looking for.
-
-
As they get banned from more instances, the instances they are not banned at start seeing a higher concentration of them.
-
-
-
Tankies forget that anything that isn't stalinism is also considered socialist
-
-
Seems like all shit opinions come from chuds on lemmygrad
I wonder why
-
I really wonder if they're CCP sympathizers using VPNs to bypass the Great Firewall, just to bitch about "Western Authoritarianism" lmao.
-
No they're just idiots

*authoritarian, not fascist. There is a difference.

*authoritarian, not fascist. There is a difference.
When authoritarians are in power long enough, whatever ideology the revolution the previous generation had gets replaced by an emphasis of simply maintaining power through whatever means necessary. And fascism is the easiest way to accomplish that.
We can debate over whether Mao was really socialist or whatever, but he's dead it doesn't much matter now. The CCP today is accepting of billionaires, capitalism is legal, labour unions are illegal, the leadership is misogynistic, oppressive towards minorities, promotes the "century of humiliation" narrative. Oh and people live in fear of another Tienanmen Square style massacre. Whatever China was in the past, it's fascist today.
And Russia? WTF are leftist (or so they claim) weirdos going on about there? The Soviet Union collapsed and was replaced with a capitalist democracy which became fascist under Putin's regime.
There's this weird thing where so-called leftists think that if some kind of socialism existed on a patch of earth then they need to carry water whatever fascist that's ruling over that patch of earth today.
-
Ah yes, the tyranny of small differences. Let us tear each other apart over this trifling distinction.
Fact; fascism falls under the larger umbrella of authoritarianism.
-
The problem is that people throw around "fascism" like my 70 year old mom uses the word "communism." She couldn't even define the actual meaning of communism let alone her use of the word.
In the common internet usage fascism just means "anything authoritarian and to the right of where I stand." It also has the issue of making people think that the problem is with left versus right politics when authoritarianism can and has existed everywhere in the political spectrum in history.

Significantly fewer for me. I smell hexbear
-
Only 100 here on my side.

I agree. Fascist countries like Denmark, Germany and Canada often get called "socialist" and they have been disastrous for the reputation of socialism.
-
You are certainly American but that's especially stupid, is it a troll?
-
I think its sarcasm

Would you like more resources or is this enough?

Of course /s. Germany, with Fuhrer Schultz, Denmark with Grand Admiral Frederiksen (I had to look it up lmao), and Canada with Supreme Commander Trudeau. All of them are actively involved in passing legislation against socialists and Muslims. All of them are involved in gathering Muslims into re-education camps. When socialists protested their respective governments for starting to become capitalist, they were run over by tanks. Also, all of these governments prevent their citizens from accessing the internet outside their own countries. Agreed! Very fascist indeed!

Man this comment section is a treat.
-
could use some sort by controversial ability right now
-
Don't even need it, upvotes aren't frequent enough here to sort out the good from the bad.

Alas, poor Vuranitute! I knew him, Horatio (before the tankies bombarded him with their "well, ackchuyually")
-
Link to the original meme?
-
What did the original say? I haven’t seen it
-
Probably some tankie shit
You're probably missing out on a free headache by not seeing it
Because so much tankie shit is so frustrating I get a headache
-
-
How did i end up in memecirclejerk?
-
Lemmy users: yes socialism is good
Everyone else points to a country where it failed
Lemmy users: that wasn't real socialism
-
oh no the tankies be tanking
-
another American who doesn't understand sociadism
-
-
I'm not the one telling others they "don't know shit" on a meme sub.
-
-Country: Elects socialist leader.
-America: Disrupts country to dispose leader.
-Success: Country no longer Socialist.
-Failure: Strongman comes to power to resist. Resists disruption, becomes dictator. Country no longer Socialist. -

Why is memes of all places political, amma head out
-
this meme is over a month old, how did you even find it
-

OP determining whether to believe the US about socialist movements
Also look up double genocide theory and stop trivializing the holocaust by calling communists fascists.

Prepare for the 14year Olds on hexbear to come in and pretend that China has a great government
You know, that actually makes sense. 14-year-olds. It would explain a lot about hexbears.
Yeah, the Chinese government is totally very democratic and is receptive to the criticism of its citizens! They never censor words and topics they don't like on their social media platforms!
It also respects women so much and represents them very proportionally
Just got banned from Hexbear for saying something negative about China and the US at the same time. They have no tolerance of any discussion that challenges their preconceptions.
