"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

No, it's when you kill civilians or commit any number of atrocities listed out in the Geneva convention. You know, like Russia has done.
The fascist capitalist dictatorship is Russia.
They're pointing out the hypocrisy of tankies saying they are anti-capitalist but then shill for capitalist oligarchies and dictatorships like Russia, China, and North Korea. (Actually NK isn't capitalist but the others are)
Holy shit, I cannot wrap my head around that logic. I've existed in a bubble where people around me are generally of the stance that fuck tankies. So the whole tankie culture is new to me and I'm learning some interesting stuff.
I don't know about Russia, but in China and North Korea, everything is owned by the state. It's communism, by definitionm
China has a stock market and investment banks. You can only have an investor class when everyone is not getting the full value of their labor. If everyone isn’t getting the full value of their labor you are not socialist.
Getting the full value of labor has never been a part of any system ever. Where did you get that idea?
Correct. Communism has never been allowed to succeed. Either it's been co-opted by fascists and dictators from within, or it's been crushed by the CIA from outside. Many small attempts have shown great promise, however, before the greedy and powerful slaughtered them.
If it's so easily defeated, don't you think that maybe it's inherently flawed? A good system would account for the greedy and powerful.
Socialism is the state owning the means of production. Communism to supposed to come next where everyone owns. Funny how that never comes to pass once the state actors get rich.
