I see more complaining about communism than communism itself. Do you reply to users from Lemmygrad or something?
Edit: Self-fullfulling prophecy in action. No wonder why I never saw it before. 😂
I had to block all of lemmygrad and hexbear(?) to make it stop
And further on from that the number of real tankies I've actually seen on here is miniscule compared to the howling mass of McCarthyites that crawl out of the woodwork.
I never heard this term before do I looked it up. I can see why you would use it on people who actively seek communist content and then complain about said communist content.
Interestingly, I found this on the Wikipedia page for McCarthyism:
Yeah that was part of the first red scare. McCarthyism was considered the second. All part of intrenching inequality by ensuring that the best paths to a healthier society are associated with authoritarianism.
Propaganda is propaganda regardless of whether it's good, bad or understandable
Did I say I disagreed with you about the capitalism part? Propaganda can be both true and positive you know. Any information that attempts to change someone's political views is by definition propaganda.
False dichotomy
it's not a dichotomy, you brainlet
The mental cancer predates capitalism, and has also brutally manifested itself in parallel in socialist nations.
Stalin, Mao, the Gang Of Four, Honecker, Hoxha, Kim Il-Sung, Ceauçescu, Pol Pot... the list is dismayingly long; so many tyrants as fucked up as anything one could come up with in capitalist nations, and even more. They tapped into the bloodlust of the oppressed, to build a new apparatus of oppression, their generals covered in a hundred solemn yet worthless medals, those bastards sure loved the status and pomp, displays and parades.
These nations build walls not so much to keep a potential enemy out, but to keep their own people in. That should tell you enough you need to know about how life was in those places.
