If the options are Stalin or capitalism, then capitalism would be a clear winner even if it’s shit because Stalin and his ideology still has the 2 issues from the first panel but on top of that he would execute anyone with an actual good system.

Not really. It implies that people conflate the two being knowingly intellectually dishonest.

If we change anything, Stalin will personally come and steal your toothbrush.

We want to abolish private property. Often, this freaks liberals out because they think it means we want everyone to live in a hive or something.

“Communism” does not describe any nation on Earth today, no matter what they choose to call themselves.

Most of the “communist” (and “capitalist”) nations in the world are run by a small number of greedy, brutal assholes who have concentrated their entire nation’s wealth into an elite 1%. NONE of them believe in anything beyond money.

You can be against reflexive non-sequitor defenses of capitalism without being a tankie. The last panel could have been “no, because the free market always corrects itself” and the meaning would have been the same.

This is pretty standard left wing stuff, tankie garbage would be like: “we need to create a dictatorship of the proletariat to prevent climate change”

Edit: well maybe it might be a little bit tankie from the last bit

No, that’s still just being leftist. Tankie shit is “kill all who disagree with the revolution”.

Do you even know what Tankie means, or do you just like throwing around useless labels?
