Generally I've found that Hexbears and lemmygrads think anyone who disagrees with or says anything bad about them or communism is a chud or is spreading misinformation.
Which is hilarious, because that's what they are, through and through. Severe projection
So true, they are huge hypocrites.
Like, this is really core at what makes tankies so insufferable, other than the bad faith, the masturbation over cruelty, and the IQ of a rock. Rather than being willing to sit down and say, "Huh, okay, so these people have legitimate grievances against the system, but that doesn't make the system inherently bad", they jump immediately to "These people are IGNORANT REACTIONARIES and they DESERVE THE WALL"
Also, "Small business tyranny"
what
I remember reading this and hoped it got posted here, I was pissing myself laughing at it like, the arseholes in those communities are absolute fucking morons.
The point is right in front of their face and they still can't see it (so the my can't screenshot this comment for a post, the point is that those regimes were authoritarian nightmares to live in as an ordinary person). I've said it before and I'll say it again, they're not tankies they're idiots who for some reason love any auth regime and then pretend that life there is so good.
And everytime I post some shit like this I have to say at the end, I do not like capitalism or the US (also I'm Irish and I live in Austria currently) I would much rather see a socialist state or proper commune style communism, what they admire is basically horrible shit which should be callef Maoism/Stalism/etc.
This is what really gets me about their brigading nonsense. The fediverse is very heavily leftist already. In large part they're attacking other leftists while claiming to be a "left unity" instance. -_-
That's why I love this post so much
On a political quiz, they call themselves all progressive and shit, but when it comes to different countries, they're fascist.
Something I love about that post is that that this is the kind of thing a shiteating bootlicker posts, who the fuck tries to impress some leader like this?? A problem with modern society is focusing power and holding up people in power as better or perfect. Thats not very communist or socialist if you ask me, in fact it implies the existence of a ruling class still.
There's some of them mixed that are level headed communist believers. The most vocal, if not the majority seem to be totalitarian sympathizers. It's so weird to me that all these "communists" don't seem to realize the economic system a dictatorship claims to be doesn't really matter.
I'm genuinely gobsmacked at that one, they really think their theory is worth more than the firsthand experience of others?
Like, I sympathize on that point, honestly. Firsthand experience is often dogshit, hence the ridiculousness of 'common sense' solutions. But when the vast majority of people who've experienced it are telling the same tale, you have to step back and ask yourself why.
But, but, but, they've watched TicTok videos and stuff. They probably are experts on infectious diseases, vaccines and Ivermectin too.
It is typical on Reddit to say "I'm at home and it's raining out", only to have multiple people insist that I don't know how to look out the window. It's too bad those assholes are migrating to Lemmy.
They believe their theory is worth more than most people's lives, and apparently more than their own, because they most surely would be liquidated after the revolution.
ah yes, those classic reactionary communists coming from cuba, vietnam and china
That's why those countries are so progressive, all the reactionaries left /s
These goddamn Vietnamese are taking our crime
How dare they! Crime is an American tradition!
These people actually told me North Korea is a democratic country where the people get to vote for their leaders.
They actually said that lol
I honestly feel bad for these people at this point
The ones that say the just top tier delusional horribly false things are something else. I've seen multiple people claiming that China is more accepting of LGBTQ people than America/the West. Denying Tianamen square....
They deny every terrible thing China and other communist countries do, Invading Tibet, trying to Invade Vietnam, Invading Mongolia, taking over Hong Kong and obliterating free press there almost over night, threatening to wipe out Taiwan every day of the week to the point where they literally shoots rockets at Taiwan to scare them, and of course the current Uyghur genocide.
I honestly can't tell half the time if they're even being serious when they deny basic facts everyone knows or if they really believe CCP propaganda
China, Russia, and North Korea are almost "cartoonishly" evil these days
The people who saw what it's like first hand for a large portion of their life surely don't know better than me. It has to be something like selection bias because they left!
I knew a Cuban immigrant, who was still a communist, but usually towards marginalized groups, people have higher standards, and many tries to live up to it.
I also know a lot of disabled chuds hoping that they either get "cured", get some help, or go to heaven because they're reactionary christians. Religious institutes like to prey on the marginalized.
