“Communism doesn’t work”

UK colonialism killed 100 million in India. Six million children die from poverty in capitalist countries every year. Don't give me your "muh communist regime" talk.

British colonialism killed a whole lot more than that in India, that's just the figure for the worst 40 years. There's plenty more millions either side.

Neither the USSR nor the CCP ever tried to be communist. They used that banner to gather supporters and then seized all control of the government in an authoritarian takeover. Communism doesn't have "dear leaders" or usually even parties. Places like the USSR used their control over capital and wages and property ownership to control their populace entirely. We've never really seen an actual communist country because all the major efforts were sabotaged by people who wanted to be dictators.

Someone knows their political philosophy😉. This is correct and well said.
Despite the tankie dislikes you are 100% right and idk about Communism but I definitely believe in democratic socialism!

Hello tankie

I haven’t dug through their post history, but this post isn’t the definition of tankie, not all communists are tankies. Tankie = the pricks who support the Russian evasion, deny Tiananmen square, etc. Fuck tankies, but this post ain’t that
- This post is blaming the West for cold war communism failures.
  And cold war communism is only considered "good" if your a tankie.
- I'm not a tankie but tianenmen square was definitely a CIA operation.
hi lib
- hi nazi
Hello ad hominem slinging capitalist.

by number of downvotes this post getting you can get the idea of cia propaganda effect till now.

Tankies are truely disgraces to all communists.

This meme didn't mention tankies at all, if you're saying that all communists are tankies then you're just an anti communist
- Ya like it mentioned CIA propaganda and Western aggression. Like is this guy a communist who's pro Western fuckery???
What is a tankie? Can you clearly and succinctly define it?
- Personally, I define tankies as the fucks who support the Russian invasion and deny Tiananmen Square. You can be communist without being a fascist bootlicker
s are truely disgraces to all
s
T-Tankies bad!! Updoots to the left, tyvm.

what happened to the marketplace of ideas
Banning doesn't work. If you don't like them, you gotta out-meme them.
Jokes on you because everything is political.
No
For the love of everything can we please ban people like this?!
There's already a dozen of those ~~containers~~ communities, but these "memes" keep leaking.

Capitalism worked under Eastern aggression, Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions, and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.

It worked better than Communism because it works better than Communism. LMFAO

Capitalism worked under Eastern aggression
Right, the countries that invaded the USSR in its nascent years, constantly tried to assassinate leaders of progressive movements, couped most countries on Earth.
Communist economic sanctions, Communist covert actions
The projection lol
and a propaganda apparatus far more widespread than anything from the West.
As that joke goes, a CIA and KGB officer meet at a bar. The CIA officer says to the KGB officer "You've got a good propaganda machine!", the KGB officer replies "Well, yours is unbeatable."
The CIA agent responds with "What propaganda? In the West we don't have propaganda."
- Keep crying, tankie
  Your shitty dictatorships failed because they were orders of magnitude more corrupt and dysfunctional than capitalism, and even more oppressive towards the general public.
You know who it worked for?
Insert Parenti speech about "Capitalism works oh so well in Latin America, Africa and Central Asia"
far more widespread than anything from the West
This might be the most absurd, brainrotten comment I’ve seen since federation.
