Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

What ever happened to Tibet?
Oh no, they invited China in, you see. Because they were being oppressed and they totally aren't now. Totally.
They would definitely gladly be wilfully ignorant to the time Communist China sent in 80,000 troops to Vietnam around 1978 to teach Vietnam a lesson, apparently saying that they'd take Hanoi in a week. Those troops failed considering Hanoi is still here. Of course both sides are quiet on this, but I still find it ironic in a way.
"Kyiv in 3 days" vibes
No no, you see, China hasn't invaded or oppressed anyone because the reactionaries they did it to deserved it.
Did you see me talk about my favorite new Tankie justification? The Jews Stalin put in the gulags deserved it for the same reason the Nazis did it to them: they were radical Marxists.
And yes, this was a Tankie, not just someone promoting the Nazis. They were talking about how either everyone Stalin sent to the gulags deserved it or it was a lie that they were sent there at all.

So close
True. Murdering people is not the same as exploiting them.
