Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(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.
Part of the definition of communism includes community (government controlled) ownership of everything. You could not own a house or land and the government could tell you that "your" property must be given to someone else at any time.
This would never work in the USA or really anywhere that values personal freedom. And therein lies the core issue with communism, as it destroys the freedom of individuals in sacrifice to the "greater good" of allegedly equal distribution of resources. In practice, like in China for example, the ranking members of the Party tend to get More Equal distribution of resources like having their own special gardens of organic produce that the common folks never have access to.
IMO it could only work in small communities of like-minded people, like the hippies and others used to do last century. At the nation-state level it inherently leads to authoritarian oppression of freedom.
From what research I've done since your initial post you don't appear to be correct concerning personal property by most interpretations.
