      Tankies ≠ leftists ≠ liberals

      Plenty of leftists want human rights and even know we’ll need a revolution to get them, but the USSR and CCP were not ever communist, they were authoritarian oligarchies disguised as communism. The same way the US is not a democracy or a republic, it’s an authoritarian oligarchy disguised as one.

        The USSR wasn’t perfect (and Stalin ruined most things that were good obviously) but they weren’t any worse than the USA or the west.

          Your reading comprehension really is something to behold. You basically just disagreed with me by saying exactly the same thing I just fucking said.
