For people that have been waiting for systemic change for decades by calmly ticking a box on a ballot you guys sure seem to not have that much patience
I remember this and the egg monopoly lady. “my grandpa was an illetrate fascist” is not something to brag about. This guy’s awareness is nonexistent.
As tankies, we need to look honestly at the ways in which the Soviet education system failed Ms. Rand.
Like giving her the ability to write decent prose or believable characters (seriously, the woman had no idea of how an adjective is supposed to work).
It is funny, all my adult life I’ve been a leftist but never had much interaction with tankies because of how I was always taught that they were hypocrites and pseudo-fascists and so on…
But lurking lemmygrad and seeing “liberals”, who mostly don’t even know what that word means, getting repeatedly dunked on with actual sources and recommended reading has been a great eye opener to what ml actually stands for.
So please keep doing what you guys are doing, because even if who you are responding to runs away after getting an elaborated answer, there will always be people like me that are actually trying to learn something and will appreciate the response.
this how these dastardly tankies get you, next thing you know you’re cackling as you drive tanks through people’s walls
Communists that you find on internet are not just 13 year olds from america, there is a world out there you libs/conservatives from americkkka. It is really funny you guys still make this joke. Communists comes in different age, colour, from different countries. It is not a phase in the life of rebellious children from your country. So please don’t come here to infantilize us.
Hey, the CPC has 90 million active members but they must all be naive, idiotic children, right? Truly they are too stupid to understand that our Western ideology is far more superior.
What does “active members” mean? That number seems kind of low for a country of 1.4 billion
being a member of the CPC comes with duties and other obligations because you represent the state. For example you should be married before joining or at least in a relationship because they don’t want you to date around due to the power implications (you being a member and the people you date not being members).
It’s not like joining a party in liberal democracies where you just pay the dues and then do whatever.
I don’t fully know what it entails but the CPC has 98 million party members. For a population of 1.4 billion that seems low, but you have to remember that not every single person has the ambition to be politically involved. Many people just live their lives without being member of a political party. And even then, almost 1 in 14 people being member of the biggest party in the country is pretty massive.
But random attacks on the character of their enemy is the only way they know how to dismiss a position that disagrees with theirs! What else could they possibly do other than call us names? If they actually listened to us they might realise we have something to say.
That’s it. The only way to remain an anti-communist is to refuse to read communist literature. Anyone who reads communist theory will either become a communist or know that communists are right (and become a figure like McCarthy).
