EDIT: no, I don’t sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they’re losing an argument ;)

    Many instances have shit like hexbear federated, but have explicit rules on the side saying “no tankie shit”. make it make sense.

        Tankies aren’t real Communists

        Sucking the dick of authoritarian regimes does not make you communist

          Which Communist regimes would say are the “real” communists? Because if you think (as many do) that every single mass movement that described itself as “communist” was bad, then I suspect you’re not a communist at all.

          Careful calling those regimes authoritarian. Hexbears like to attack this point by assigning a slightly different definition to authoritarian and then either (a) claim that all governments are “authoritarian” or (b) blame liberals for using this word to demonize socialist states. I once saw someone cite https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Authoritarianism to “prove” that those states are not authoritarian.

            It’s worse than just that. They argue that acknowledgement of Stalin’s atrocities is Holocaust denial.

            They are so scared and insecure they will lash out against anything that slightly challenges their beliefs. If they post sources it will be misreadings of fringe groups, or conveniently ignoring facts. Like how they believe tiananmen square wasn’t a big deal because the China killed about 300 people a mile away. Or how Cuba is a utopia even though it’s citizens chose to get run over by the coast guard instead of living there.

        Communism is the very definition of failure. How anybody could be simple enough to think that bullshit could ever be valid is shocking to me.
