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.
It turns out all countries have an authoritarian desire and like to do horrible stuff to their civilians. At any point in time some may be better than others. But all of the problems stem from the same root problem of power. It's a human thing and it's unavoidable. Something that citizens will always need to fight against.
Dont dare talk about communist crimes, cause capitalism murders like 10 million people a day. A day! No you can't see any proof and you wouldn't understand russian anyway if I did. Kill all landlords. T. Didn't finish highschool and get fired from mcdonalds every 3 months.
Tankies love to gloss over the fact the US is way more democratic than China despite recent events.
The two party system is an illusion of choice...the same parasite has hands in both socks
Hey look it's the tankie doing the glossing
My work speaks for itself. If you are going to make accusations at least do some basic diligence, boy
In America police violence is shown on tv and presented as a good thing actually, in china it's not on tv.
And if you talk about police violence in China the police come to your house and tell you to stop.
If you don't stop you and your family dissappear.
At least it's not on TV, otherwise the public might get concerned!
Well the USA doesn't have Execution Vans yet if we're comparing.
Well, at least they're civilized enough to use lethal injection instead of shooting them... /s
That's absolutely horrifying.
We still have police in vans running around executing people with guns. I think we should really stop splitting hairs and just settle on both police forces being authoritarian death cultists.
Ok wow I bet those are coming here soon
"OUR fair and just police vs THEIR brutal murderer cops"
They should learn that ACAB means "ALL cops are bastards", not "All cops in the US and not my beloved infallible glorious prc"
They made tankie 196? Gross.

Looks like universal Monk has a new alt.. or is it noted sociopath linkerbaans alt?
I have no alt names though--I'm just on a few different instances. I use my same name though.
Funnily enough, back in the day, people thought I was an alt of linkerbaans.
You guys seem to believe you see "alts" everywhere, especially if you disagree with someone.
You know, it could be, that there are more than one or two people that disagree with you. And that's ok. That doesn't mean they are the same person. lol
Damn linkerbaan, now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.
Thank God
honestly im glad someone has called it out, the US is BAD and China is also BAD but with highspeed rail and some better ideas along the way which is tbf GOOD. and if we are criticising everyone i want to know why rent and housing is so unaffordable in most of europe and why landleeches can reap. i also want to know why the hell life is worse for women in so many countries, looking at you india, iran and others. problems dont go away because u ignore them and yes sometimes less bad or least worst is progress too but we must strive for the best hard enough that if we fail to hit it we achieve at least good.
Yeah dictatorships are good if they build a train
Infrastructure Investment is an indicator of good governance... Us just provide straight cash transfer to our parasites and we get nothing in return beyond being priced gouged by industries we subsidize
Individuals are far too complex to be 100% anything, so the same applies to the added complexity of a state.
The state is 100% something. It's 100% useless and harmful. source: https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionB.html#secb2 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1PV02IzWpo
