I know someone that thinks tankies are allies against American imperialism, and they say that any movement to the left is better than capitalism, even if it’s Russia or CCP branded leftism. They say that nothing that Russia or CCP has done is worse than what American imperialism. This all came up after I mentioned the tankie triad, and they said they were subscribed to multiple communities on there and didn’t disagree with what they were seeing on there. Let me know if there’s a better place to ask or if there’s any other threads or resources I should refer them to. I will be forwarding this thread to them, so your help would be greatly appreciated.
being on world and hating .ml is so funny. enjoying the fruits of collectivised labour while vehemently disagreeing with the ideology that made it possible. straight up they wish some CEO owned the whole thing instead, that would be more comforting to them
dot-world needs a “Great Man” to take control because the masses are “two fickle” to manage it themselves, or something.

How can you possibly disagree with this? On an emotional level I can see how someone would think “Russia is worse than America right now” but historically?
Their “concentration camps”, our “detention centers”. Nothing we do is ever as bad as anyone else because our reasons are good and righteous.
