They’re Tankies.

You probably want to avoid their instances like lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml unless you like to root for the tanks in the Tianamen square massacre.
oh no
but i hope that someone who isnt rooting for world war 3, is probably gonna fork it
So a few corrections:
Tankies aren’t a bad thing, and it’s a nazi dogwhistle as pointed out by your link.
Being a ‘Tankie,’ isn’t a bad thing, it’s being anti-nazi. The Term was invented by nazis, to criticize the soviet union crushing a nazi uprising with tanks, barely a decade after they won WWII.
The tanks in Tiannamen square were the good guys. Objectively so. Maybe don’t root for the CIA?
Please be smarter than you are. The people that own every aspect of your life are obviously going to lie to you to keep you under their ownership. It takes very little to debunk their lies.
The sources for the blog post in point number 3 are pretty spotty. They quote Western media like the Washington Post or a former Australian official without giving the proper links or citations. The citations to some “Western” sources like Amnesty International are there but these sources are only brought in so the authors can get nitpicky about their word choices. The only solid source I could find was the WikiLeaks source from the US embassy, but that doesn’t contradict the massacre narrative because the wire could have been sent before the violence peaked. The more substantive claims rely on YouTube videos or other blog posts for their sources.
I’m not trying to be hostile by saying this; I’m willing to hear you out. But I will need a far higher standard of rigour before I’m willing to take any of these ideas seriously.
Thank you for being open minded. Here is a much better sourced article: https://canadianpatriot.org/2021/08/20/the-comprehensive-tiananmen-square-massacre-hoax-dossier/ for the Wikileaks cable, no. It was sent after. https://peds-ansichten.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1989-07-12_Lilley_Gallo_Tiananmen_WikiLeaks.pdf
this is literal misinformation
Be more specific, and please link explicit examples with sources, instead of using thought terminating phrases that your owner taught you when something clashes with their programming.
just duckduckgo it
1: the word “tankie” was made by reformist communistsm not nazis
2: you have a million pieces of evidence about the tanks killing normal people
3: and no, Democracy is a real thing, and capitalism can be regulated with rules (Genius for your chicken strips brain, but not for me), most of the EU is an example
4: there is no thought in communism, communism is the most vague thing on earth, it cannot pair with democracy since it’s so vague
your odor lingers on
Answered in the First link, calling the CGRB ‘reformist communists’ is the same as calling nazis ‘reformist socialists’ because they have socialist in the name.
No, you don’t. In fact, you don’t have a single one, because that was never the claim for Tiannamen square. The tanks sheltered the soldiers from gunfire during the rebellion. This is answered in the second link.
Correct, and all forms of socialism have democracy built in, as socialism is democracy applied to the economy.
The same EU that uses slave labor for most of its wealth? [1]
Regulated capitalism still requires exploitation in order to function, because it is still capitalism, which is exploitative by nature.
There’s more thought in communism than there is in capitalism, as communism is based on the scientific method, and capitalism is built on the idea some people are born better than others. [2]
I hope you realize your place and the fact you will never be a capitalist. Education is free and easy these days.
1: of course your using 3 links referening to communist newspapers and others (what did i expect), Having No Evidence
2: go to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre#Citations, then look and read them all (the ones written in english)
3: no all communist and socialist countries, are not actual democracies in being free
4: there is no evidence with the EU encouraging any form of slave labor, that wasn’t in the 1700s, and also many of those companies that exploit are likely gonna become illegal by some day
5: then why are all those soviet union countries and china and communist nations, exploit people, kill them, and many more, if there was thought in it, none of that would happen
6: your fart lingers on
7: communism hides the issues with its economy, capitalism doesn’t
Sweet, fresh name for the blocklist.
That’s sad that you have so much potential[1][2][3], but then blindly and stupidly believe everything the American government tells you to believe when it comes to non-white and non-western people. The links will still be available for you when you decide to grow past your limitations and your owner’s education.
False:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie 2. The Tiannamen Square protests are led by a vast majority of students. Reading the article you cited, it states: “…and are clear that the “protesters” (rioters) initiated the deadly violence in Beijing (none of which occurred in Tiananmen Square itself).” You can see that this mofo denies the massacre happening because it literally didn’t happen in the Square (true, but a non-sequitur). Secondly, that the protestors initiated the violence. The protests were peaceful, until the Chinese government declared martial law and ordered thousands of People’s Liberation Army (PLA) troops into Beijing. 3. Sure. The article is fucking misleading. Let’s assume it is right, and even then, your (3) is yet again a non-sequitur: because the protestors initiated the violence does not make the massacre justified.
Hi, my two sources directly answer your CIA propaganda and debunk it.
Thanks for proving your illiteracy.
thank you for proving that you supported a actual massacre and supporting ethnic cleansing by the russian government
There was no ethnic cleansing. https://www.idcommunism.com/2016/10/truth-and-lies-about-socialism-on-60th.html
Hi, yes. One of your sources, Hampton Think, is a leftist “proletariat” (self-described; on Hampton Think’s about page). They are an open platform with no fact checking, so:
Addendum:
My bad for using the r-word for offended folks; it was in the heat of the moment
I’ve banned them from the community for this. Wholly unacceptable.
Don’t feed trolls. Block, report, move on.
Cool, the paper I linked specifically has sources for all of its claims.
For your 3rd point, look to the world right now. Congrats, its worse than the any socialist country ever was.
Tankie was made by leftists to describe authcoms support for the Soviets after they used tanks on a student protest in Hungary.
This is incorrect, but common misinformation. https://www.idcommunism.com/2016/10/truth-and-lies-about-socialism-on-60th.html
Aww it’s a little CowBee, here to spread more misinformation.
For someone that seemingly understands how western media has lied about their much less controversial enemies, one has to wonder why you’re supporting the same people that lied about WMDs in Iraq, with an equally ridiculous line of logic that isn’t supported by pretty much any part of the world outside the west.
