My roommate is the biggest unabashed communist of anyone I know and he argues with me whenever I try to shit on Mr. Beast. I really don’t know what that guy’s planning but I know it’s not good. No one gets that popular on the Internet without being a piece of shit.

Tankies ≠ leftists ≠ liberals
Plenty of leftists want human rights and even know we’ll need a revolution to get them, but the USSR and CCP were not ever communist, they were authoritarian oligarchies disguised as communism. The same way the US is not a democracy or a republic, it’s an authoritarian oligarchy disguised as one.
lemmy.ml is also pretty tankies friendly. Lemmy.world is the only instance I’m using regularly although suggestions of other good ones are welcome
196 is the subreddit that this community is based on. The only official rules are that you must post before you leave and you can’t be a bigot. It ends up basically like r/shitposting, except aggressively pro-LGBTQ instead of anti.
A tankie is a leftist who thinks that Mao, Stalin, and Castro were cool.
Yeah, tankies are not the only people who realize George Bush lied about WMDs lmao. Basically all leftists know that. However, most other leftists don’t make excuses for people like Stalin, Mao, and Castro. We can advance our cause without supporting mass murderers. Fuck tankies
