They only venture outside their safespaces when they've got support. You'll never see a lone Tankie venturing outside of it.

Beria

also curious how you're going to spin the Kremlin being involved in supplying Epstein victims, Epstein's regular contact with the Kremlin and Epstein mentioning his meetings with Putin.

hi i am goat.

you can ask me any questions you have about my community or my views. My opinion on I/P is that Israel should leave Palestine alone, and Palestine should leave Israel alone. They both have the right to exist.

you'd also be hard-pressed to ever get proof from tankies. They're MAGA, they don't operate on proof, only feelings.

Where does that happen?

Fascist bootlickers call Piefed a CIA op and thought policing because [checks notes] it has admin tools for checking upvote/downvote reputation in c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

Yeah, most likely it's Russian disinformation at some level in the pipeline of extremism

It's very curious how all extremists end up with the same talking points and views. The antisemitism from tankies is almost identical to neo-nazis, even posting and sharing the same conspiracy theories.

i'd like to tout that this community rarely bans users and has one of the fairest and most lenient ban conditions. we encourage tankies to come and engage

but tankies like to say they get banned for 'wrongthink' since it's easier to lie than admit you can't handle people criticising your otherwise asinine positions.

It's alright, but US defaultism assumes liberalism, conservatism, and capitalism in its examples. It also gives the US greater power and dominance over language and theory.

You're using Lenin's definition of imperialism. Lenin’s definition focuses on economic domination, not military or territorial control, so for the PRC’s invasion, which was "liberation," it’s better to use the modern definition of imperialism, which most people reading this will be doing anyway.

Tibet was also a serfdom, not a slave society, there is a distinct difference. Serfdom binds a person to land. Slavery treats them entirely as movable property. One is labour, one is chains. Calling it liberation is also extremely negligent and steeped in bias, the US military uses this excuse all the time, that they are liberators instead of imperialist forces.

But ultimately this all avoids the question of whether or not the Tibetan population wanted integration with China, that's the crucial part that makes it imperialist, the inability for the Tibetans to decide for themselves.

Which, again, you're making a false conflation. We've established that Europe is imperialist, yes. We've established that the US is imperialist, yes. But then you're including the PRC in an attempt to make it appear anti-imperialist -- Which it mostly wasn't. It's a very camp argument. Imperialism is imperialism, it doesn't matter who's doing it and for what reason.

Redsails is also not a good source, it's openly from an ML perspective, so it's not neutral, which you absolutely have to be when discussing history. It's also under no pretence to be academic or accurate either, Redsails is ideologically driven rather than factually driven - so it won't ever be critical of the ML perspective. You can use redsails to talk theory, absolutely, but not as a historical or factual source, it's dishonest.

China is also not entirely socialist, either, it’s state-capitalist with socialist rhetoric. They still have private property.

Can you not use US defaultism? To me, there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans, they're all the same creed of politicians.
