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.

Okay im game, tell me how the Chinese killing a bunch of people in Tiananmen square is the cia's fault.

Can you explain how china conquering Tibet is not their fault either?

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The 'democracy protestors' were all capitalist agitators funded by the CIA. The main 'organizers' now either live in the USA or hong Kong and are very rich.

As for Tibet I suggest you listen to this short video

Pen and teller did a great episode of bullshit on Tibet as well
