Welcome to MoG!

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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

I simply cannot understand their aversion to the very valid argument of "The Soviet Union didn't meet the criteria to be communist."
Lemmy as created by dessa is the largest bubble of ignorance in history
it specializes at it. it will not stop until everyone is in the cult

Holy hyperbole Batman.
It was the only moderately successful attempt apart from China.
Neither China nor USSR met the criteria to even be socialist, let alone communist. Both of them devolved into state-capitalist oligarchies extremely quickly.
Judging by your comment history, you are trolling. How about you take a timeout?
No money for tankie devs!
Stahlin is a protected class, you know.
Tankies are the last people to care about minorities. They will throw them under the bus once they gain power.
It's amusing how Lemmy has a meltdown over rimu and ptz but dessalines and co are just minor annoyances.
As awful as they are. And they are. Currently ml are content with running their echo chambers. Which is different from deploying obscure hidden systems of disenfranchisement. They would absolutely do it if they thought they could seriously get away with it. It is 100% within the ml authoritarian wheelhouse. See China et all.
That's not to say they shouldn't be getting more shit than they currently are. They should. One of the lead edgelord devs account is named for a brutal despot and revolutionary for instance. That had to be assassinated by his own people so they could be free. But most people are ignorant or uninformed regarding it. It's not that significantly different from a right winger naming their account for Hitler or some other brutal despot. But it's any day ending in Y on the fediverse.
Yep, well aware it's not a 1:1 comparison. It just seems like being a narcissistic ideologue is a prerequisite for writing threadiverse software. If I had a nickel etc. Such a weird dynamic.
I've been told the China is a socialist utopia where everyone is equal and everything/everyone is free.
Heh that would be an absurd claim. That would be on par to claiming DSA are extremist and parasites. Neither are true. And yet you hear the former from them all the time.
I get that reference!
From what I heard from the triad is that Mamdani is a Zionist and maybe the next McCarthy and that DSA are just liberals. lol
Unrelated but "Sisu", the movie about a man who suffered under USSR genocide in finland, was a pretty good action flick.
